To JNB, fwiw, I think what you describe is because even though it takes 20 years in the industry to be a mainline Captain, one can still get a pretty decent life after 15 years in the regionals. Once you hit 6 figures with 16 days off a month, it's pretty easy to forget how much the first 5-10 years sucked. None of these guys are about to walk off the job, and they're at least 40% of my airline.

Nobody is going to walk off the job because 90% of American workers can't. They have families to feed, and that will always trump the 'good of the industry'. People will leave for better jobs and/or better opportunities for themselves. If you want to change this industry, begin by repealing the RLA. Then institute a pay system where people are paid according to production, like every other industry.
Oh, wait, then I can't work 14 (or fewer) days a month for 6 figures!
Very true. Can't have both. Be careful what you wish for.

Anyone commuting out of Boston can share their experience commuting? I'm really split between erj/crj.
