MSNBC article on airline cost cutting
Seems like MSNBC may be getting closer to the underlying issues. Not the best article ever, but still fairly good.
Continental crash shows safety may have price - Aviation- msnbc.com
Personally I think it should be re-titled: You get what you pay for...

"we periodically review wages to ensure that we remain competitive"
i just about effing choked and died on my coffee after reading this. This has to be the biggest slap in the face and urinate on your grave quote ever dished out to anyone.
Im sure thats just why pinnacle management has been so eager to get a contract done with pilots. They are just trying to find you all a competitive wage.

Unfortunately for us pilots, it's been paycut after paycut, and the industry average has gotten lower and lower. So, when they review the wages they adjust them to be 'competitive.'
It's a backhanded way of saying we keep our (crew) costs in line because we can.

This article, along with every other article that I've read in the last week on this subject omit a major point.
$21/hr sounds like a livable entry-level wage...except that it only will get you a 70-hour guarantee, and legally not more than 120 hours a month. The likes of pinacle management can say..."see, we pay our pilots $21 dollars an hour. That is average compensation."
Every pilot knows the truth.
