How long would it take your company to re place 75% of their pilots
Serious question...How long would it take for each legacy and regional carrier to replace 75% or more of their pilots if they resigned in mass. I know the railway labor act prevents strikes and CHAOS without mediation, but what if the unions came in with boxes full of letters of resignation that will be executed if wages and work rules are not moved forward? I am new to this game but slavery ended over 140 years ago.

It's a liitle, no a huge stretch to compare our situation as airline pilots and slavery. We have a choice, slaves do not.[/quote]
Ok before this goes nuts...I'm not comparing the current pilot wage issue with slavery. What I am saying is that the RLA denies unions from using their leverage to bargain in good faith for better living conditions and wages. Hell janitors at General Motors earn more than first year FO's anywhere...what did they pay to acquire their skills?
