Maybe some will take a leave of absense to make some big bucks while maintaining a seniority number at Delta, coming back once wages improve here.
Although if things don't start moving soon + if the stagnated employee is old enough, it might make sense to (gasp) just give up a Delta seniority number and move on. |

Because he'll have to compete for pilots. It's simply supply & demand.
This is an article from two weeks ago. Expect more and more of these in the future as airfares continue to rise. ALPA has thrown its support behind every merger, including USAir/AMR, all under the premise of rationality and pricing control. By itself, that's true. However, the "lack of competition,", i.e. low airfares, is going to eventually open up the U.S. skies to the likes of Emirates and others. No matter how many PAC $ airline pilots can scrape together, as long as oil continues to flow out of the middle east, the sheikhs will always be able to outspend us. |

That's wishful thinking on your part. Supply and demand will be solved by foreign ownership (which RA supports) and cabotage. It's going to happen no matter how much PAC money is against it. It's only a matter of time.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but just to air this out, there are tons of things we as pilots are required by law to self ground for that would be transparent to thousands of other professions including many recreational activities.
ALPA Defends Pilot It was noted in the local press that Capt. Bob Jones came in fourth in the Brookwood Country Club Pro/Am Charity Golf Tournament on a day on which Captain Jones had called in sick. ALPA responded to the Company's inquiries stating,"just think how much better Capt. Jones would have played if he had not been sick." |

Even if every US airline is bought by foreign companies (which won't happen) pilot wages will go up via supply & demand.
At my former regional carrier, several immigrant friends confessed to having gained hundreds of hours since there was no easy way to verify flight time overseas. At the mainline level, the panel I interviewed with stated they appreciated my bringing schedules / pay sheets to verify flight time from the last couple of gigs, as well as the records brought by military applicants. |
