Wonderful Read. We should LEARN and PROSPER

I say that discounts, incredibly, the benefits experience provides an airline. Bean counter logic through and through.

The top ten airlines have no experience shortage in their cockpits.

Thanks! That right there will be the downfall of this country if anything is. It was a strong middle class that built this country, the few at the top want more and everyone else will get less. Simple as that.

And how many young pilots are in the pipeline now? when I started flying, the financial equation was more profitable- now flt training costs twice as much and major airline careers pay half as well- experienced pilots don't grow on trees- And it's not a process that can be rushed just bc bean counters all of a sudden realize they should have been paying better - (regardless of MPL)

none of which recognizes that we get paid what we COLLECTIVELY bargain- hence ignoring union issues and pretending that we get paid strict market wages is flat out wrong.
