Translation: Be afraid, be very afraid. My job depends on you being afraid. Are you afraid yet? Booo!
Sorry, not buying it. It's a matter of economics. If pilots in this country were serious about this they'd merge with the regional pilots and kill the whipsawing once and for all. They won't do it. Why is that? Time to put up or shut up because the fear tactics aren't working except those fresh out of flight training.
