Yes and so as I asked above can anyone explain how they do it. If it were easy to do, someone in this country would have tried to follow that model. I am betting most of these 3rd world countries with high salaries are subsidized by their gov't to get airlines off the ground and build the aviation infrastructure.airlines around the world are paying high fuel prices and dealing with competition as well but their pilots are paid well, sorry but I don't buy it
Of course we could bring back the CAB from 1938 that was eliminated in 1978 under de-reg. Then airlines could set monopoly prices on routes awarded to them, pilot could strike ask for more money, the CAB would see this as a cost increases and allow higher prices. Of course back then we had what 1/2? Maybe a 1/3? Of the airline jobs we have now, but who cares at least the senior guys would benefit.
BTW. If anyone has the answer to this, it their duty to start an airline and make it the perfect place to work and then attract all the pilots and put the other airlines out of business.
