Guys, I think Velocipede makes a good point with regards to not giving the J/S to a pilot working for a carrier that is non-union and undercuts his wage (or his power to seeks a good wage).

In the end, do we all want to be a part of a race to the bottom? and help the executives get rich while turning our industry into Walmart, and our profession into a job that ranks below garbage man? or do we want to hold our ground and act like we're all in this together and try (every one of us) to raise the bar?

Not saying that all companies must pay the same, but if a company is making hand over fist while not paying the same wages as another company that is making a decent profit (but not as much), who in the end does that really help? The pilots? or the managers?
