It will not be easier in 5 years. How is the company going to feel different about raising the rates then than they do now? I really don't see how it has anything to do with the company to be honest. They have a finacial value they can support and be a viable company. Why in the world would they care where the money goes. If ALPA went to them and said we will pay all our jet pilots 1 dollar an hour and the q 100 an hour. If it fit in their financial plans they wouldn't care.
The time to fix things is never in the future. It's always now.
