Pay The Price

[ackattacker]

Free market economy is the best way to run things in this country. Darwin's law will sort things out nicely.

Yep... free market. Lets see... all the legacy carriers get forced out of business, lay off tens of thousands.... who start again at the bottom, making McJob pay... oh, and the tens of thousands of out-of-work pilots/FAs/mechanics flood the labor market and force down wages at the remaining low cost carriers to the same level (oh, you thought your union would protect you? free market my man!)

But you can't really complain... "Darwin" has done its job nicely. After all, in a "free market", why pay senior captains more to do the same job as a junior guy? Everybody gets paid the same (nearly nothing).

Those thousands of out of work pilots who can't feed their families? boo-hoo-hoo... Darwin says they have to die anyway. Too many pilots. Certainly they shouldn't be entitled to any public assistance, what are you, a commie?

Oh, and those unprofitable rural routes? gone. "Essential Air Service?", more commie manure. Don't like it that you can't get air service into your community? Move to LA like everybody else. Don't come crying on the governments shoulder.

great idea, I think you've really nailed it.

Let's have a show of hands:

How many of you would be willing to be furloughed after re-regulation goes back into effect?

For the good of the profession, of course.

If enough of you quit or get furloughed, I'm sure pay rates will go back up for those who still have a job.
