Why is it the passengers responsibility to care about pilot wages when there are pilots applying for these jobs and others willing to take concessions to fly them?
Seriously, there are pilots voting to take less money in order to take airplanes away from fellow union pilots. Why should a passenger care when pilots are willing canabilise eachother?

But if you are implying any pilot just starts their first, second or even third job, post commercial check ride making fair wages, I have not seen this.
