It created, along with airline regulation, the malinvestement of resources (money and pilot interest). It promised more than the career could deliver.
Government action (that is ALWAYS political) does not often have the impact that was intended. In fact, it is usually the opposite (try to reduce poverty-increases poverty). It would be no different in the airline industry.
The Government is not our savior... the evil free market is.
I think you really miss the point here. Clearly you need to turn down your Fox News.
Most pilots want the govt to either quit being an impediment to us fixing the problem (RLA), or fix it themselves. As was said earlier -- govt all in, or all out -- enough of the half-a$$ stuff.
