Save the Profession / Stop race to bottom
Congress can do it.
Legislation can cut the Gordian Knot of scope and safety by simply outlawing the outsourcing/subcontracting of FAR 121 passenger flying to other companies. All flying advertised to flying public to be done by pilots working for the certificate holder, even if it is in a Ce-402.

Since Virgin is a startup, a union has not been on property long enough to negotiate a contract. Just as when SWA started they were below industry standards. But the rest of the companies have had time.

Nice thought but the corp world is such a small piece of the pie. You typically get your 1-3 guys in each 121 major class. If your so happy with your bizjet just logon to bizjetpilotcentral.com and talk about your high starting pay and slow climbing top end pay 365/24/7 schedules (the majority of the bizjet jobs, not the Fortune 50 strech CRJ jobs). In the end, the majors want prior 121 or military officers in their left seats, period. Get over it, your CJ5++++xls X isn't what they want, sorry. But hey you've got great starting pay right!?!

In DAL's case, DAL Airlines is the parent of DAL holding. A pesky organizational chart could get around simple wording.

No they don't. They hire ANYONE who will accept wages that need to be supplemented with food stamps.
They may want to know about that, but not nearly as much as knowing whether you'll work for $15,000 per year. I know that because of all the ab-initio pilots hired by the regionals. You don't have much PIC time to discuss if you just got out of flight training.

I'll echo the rest, how sadly misinformed you are.
A wise man once said - ignorance is bliss. Boy, does it ring true...

How much time should we give them? If you don't want to give them a time frame, how big can they get before they should be caught up?
Or do we just not hold these pilots accountable at all?
