"LCC are the future." We've been hearing that since deregulation. And how many have survived?

Bummer it took til the 3rd page to discuss the real issue here.
What scares me here are the low time guys with 1500-2500 hours who don't understand the politics of the industry. To a lot of them, this just says, "Hey you! Yes, you! You can fly a 787!" They don't understand the repercussions of Norwegian on the industry. Heck, even some 20-year Captains I know aren't familiar with NAI or Norwegian; they just fly their trip and go home without ever reading ALPA emails or reading up on the state of the industry.
Then you have the guys who would step on their grandmother to move up, no matter how shortsighted the move is. I think there are less than the first group, but certainly enough to fill a few flight decks for Norwegian.
In summation, this is why we can't have nice things.

There are some serious issues I have with the way the union has inflated pay at the top and done the opposite to the pay structure on the bottom.
