like Comair did? like AWAC?
the tallest tree in the forest is the first to get cut down.
it's all about competing effectively and for the long term.
9/11, bankruptcies, people's lack of faith in the economy have all contributed to downward pressure. Pressure that has been mitigated by unions. But it works the other way around as well. When times are good, many pilot groups raise the bar.
As we know, this industry is cyclical. The only thing we can do is raise the bar when we have the leverage to do so and mitigate the downward pressure when we don't have that pressure. Currently, you are unable to do either.
