Looked it up. 31 years old. Still as true today as it was then.

Comparing oranges and apples
I am sorry but I don't buy anymore any emotion to a commercial like that. Flying companies are just a business and pilots just numbers. Business is the name of the game and profit the end goal. Covid-19 is beyond our control and I don't play any blame game but at the same time the frenetic and insane prosperity was and did eventually blew up. It's just another cycle, economical, but that has nothing to do with any noble cause of sincerity or passion for aviation. It's just business. Sorry but not trying to be bitter.

Sorry, but nooo one has any appetite to willingly accept pay cuts other than reduced line values. I think it’s safe to say that that was learned the hard way in the 2000s and won’t happen again.

Union’s attitude was that it represented current cops, not future cops. Senior cops voted to increase their pay at the expense of more junior cops. They increased top pay, but moved it down the line slightly to appease the bean counters, and cut pay for the first few years to aid with the offset.
What’s to say something similar isn’t negotiated? In a few years, most airlines won’t have any guys under three years...airline pitches a cut in year 0-3 salary, and dangles some other carrot in front of the pilots in order to get it—what do they care about guys who aren’t yet hired?

The cut won't come as a result of reduced money per hour, it will come in the form of reduced guarantee hrs, which is already happening.
