If ANYTHING should unite every airline pilot group...TSA and GoJet, Republic and Expressjet, Comair and Delta, whatever....this proposal should be it.

THIS is the issue that should create a very public, very legitimate Suspension of Service threat.

With a credible threat of pilots from every airline walking off the job en masse over this issue, this thing would get resolved A-S-A-P.

Would the public or the media understand? Of course not...but they're not on the side of the professional pilot anyway...
