Because sadly there will always be someone who has "always just want to fly since I was a kid" who will step up and fly for poverty wages. There are plenty of qualified pilots out there, they're just not willing to work for less than what it takes to live. I agree with other posters, raise the pay to a livable wage and you'll get some takers. Union shops can and should raise ALL the pay rates if the company wants to open section 3.
