Ok, I'll try my hand at your question, LAFF. (Mike and MHM, again correct me if I'm wrong).

The original premise is that JetBlue pays poorly, has poor work rules, etc etc. The pilots are not happy. Some will have enough and leave. If ToiletDuck then applies for the job, he will likely be paid the poor wages which caused the other guy to leave. As long as a company has a supply of eager people willing to take poorly paying jobs, it will have no reason to raise its wages.

The conundrum is what should be done about this, if anything can be done at all.
