If you look at the industry in 97 you will find that MOST regional airlines were PFT at the time. I did what everyone else did if they wanted a job.
The first companies to start hiring were Trans States, Eagle, Mesa, and Con Ex. Who was PFT? You did what others without experience did. You paid for your job. You undercut and disrespected the other pilots on the market. You put money in the pockets of Management. You allowed them to give you a better contract because you took a loan from your own account. I guess the two do correspond with each other. I suppose if Mesa saved $10,000 per pilot at 100 per month, in one year the company would save enough money to give them a better work rules in their contract. Just because divine Southwest does it, doesn't make it right.
Sometimes they are separate issues, sometimes they are not.
