True, but now it's a matter of holding on to what little they've go left. Of course you can dream.

But how would you deal with this problem? You know as well as anybody else, there's only so much negotiation capitol to go around. Do you spend in on the top guys trying to ensure the FAE for retirement? If you did, who's to say it'll be there for the junior guys that got sacrificed on the process? Or, spread it around so that every pilot on property gets a piece of the pie? Like I said, there's only been a very brief period of time where both of those occurred recently.
And yep, I agree with you, this industry, and more specifically this career needs so much overhaul that accomplishing ANY of it will be a miracle.
