Question As an Airline Pilot:

If you had one AVIATION RELATED ONLY (no politics) question to ask our country's future President, what would it be?

Do you think that returning to regulation of the industry would stabilize it and starting salaries increase?

The answer to that would be, "Yes, re-regulation would increase pilot salaries, but it would contract the industry and a large percentage of major airline pilots would need to find employment elsewhere."

Are you speaking of the awarding and restriction of the number of routes and those routes which are more profitable than others to certain carriers?

I believe having something in place that mirrors the old Civil Aeronautics Board, with obvious improvements, that allows for competition is doable.
