On a related note, anyone else see in today's USA today the article on illegal immigrants in the Dakota's? It had a blurb on how one dairy operator was having a hard time operating as he couldn't even attract illegal immigrants to the job - for 30K a year!!! Jesus - what has become of our profession that we do this for 20K? We are our own worst enemy.

In a way pilots negotiating pay has lost alot of its ability much like consumers able to boycott a product. Because there are sooo many consumers in america, anymore there is no possible way to be able to boycott a product such as oil, medicine, and soo forth. Even if there is a group of people who boycott, there are too many other people still willing to buy it, therefore losing the power. Much like pilots in regionals right now, unfortunately there is always someone there willing to do the job for less and less. I completely agree that we are being undercut, and should be making 40 and hour starting out. I just hope that when a companies pilots go on strike, there will be a domino effect and the rest will follow suit..... ok so who's first???

Let's all fly as low as possible, burning as much gas as we can so we can light a match under management's over-bloated, money filled rump... they would have to cave eventually.
