No matter how much you dislike a pilot group wishing ill on them affects the whole industry. Industry management would like us to believe that the wage rate of the top earner any given time is unsustainable. If we buy into this we are doomed as a profession to continue the race to the bottom in. Consider this simple math. What if tickets were raised by $2/flight hour? Even on a Transcon the total fair increase would be less than $15. Given everyones record load factors how many people would a $2-$15 fair increase price out of the market? With a load of 100 people that would finance an unheard of raise of $60/hour/per pilot assuming a very high 60/40 pay benefit split.
