What is wrong with europilots? One could do better both monetarily and quality of life/time off flying in Asia.
Until europilots walk away from such ludicrous flying jobs, wages will continue to suck in euroland. Surely there are jobs with better working conditions/higher pay in euroland that don't involve flying aircraft.

Those were bankruptcy wages. Undercutting implies it's intentional which is not born out of the bankruptcy process.
Ironically, several regionals stepped in and helped fund US Air's emergence from bankruptcy and merger with America West.

Yep, including those of us pilots at Air Wisconsin at the time.

Legacies are now creating high density configurated cabins on TATL flights in response to DY. Who is undercutting who?

Companies like Eurowings, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Germanwings, etc should all be one single company under one single pilot agreement. The pilots are allowing themselves to be whipsawed by the parent company.
The same can be said for IAG's pilots.
Scope. Get some.

Undercutting is something big companies do to small companies in order to maintain monopoly. It requires sufficient capital to outlive the rival. Do you really think that the startup Norwegian, with all its financial burdens, is trying to win a war of attrition against the legacies combined? Of course not. What Norwegian is offering is an opportunity for the middle classes of the world to be able to fly internationally much like the LCC's did domestically decades ago. Norwegian is creating jobs and offering TATL flights to people who could not afford them before. This is as noble a cause as any and is something that greatly benefits middle America who is otherwise considered to be less well traveled than their European peers.

I love how you paint a stupid, done before with no success, business model as somehow noble. All it does is waste investment capital and destabilize the entire airline industry.
