While I think he has valid points I can't do much cheerleading for the highest paid work group in the company. If Pilots have to work 2 jobs something is wrong. The other 30,000 employees make do with a lot less.

As for the exp. issue I don't see that happening with manditory retirment anyway and the seniority system it would be another 20 years with no hiring before we hit a exp. pilot shortage.
You forget that whatever revenue comes in, gets divided up into hair-brain schemes and "invested" in buying junk bonds, well before it makes its way over to payroll, at least at LCC.You cannot pay out high wages if you don't have the revenue to support those wages. Simple fact.
Sully certainly has a valid point but he is comparing wage expectations leftover from regulation days to the modern reality of market rates for labor...
Sure, but let's compare US wages with the AVERAGE of their peers. US pilots make 39% less than the average and 17% less than the next highest labor group.
That's reality.

He should blame the bean counters (both in his union and his company) for ignoring reality for too many years.

Otherwise it is just a shell game (see the current UAW-automaker disaster).
Hey, at least the pilots 'only' had a 40% wage reduction.
Those auto workers ain't going to get anything.
