Maybe pilots wages by them selves are inconsequential, but that means baggage handlers, Customer Service agents, Engineering,Sales Staff, Management, etc etc. are even more inconsequential, but are still labour costs and need to be included in Direct Labour Costs per Revenue Hour of the Aircraft. Surely it is all relative in the end, and in the end its the bottom line and the bean counters that determine your future. Getting the right mixture of Low Fares and reasonable wages is very important. They go hand in hand actually. Its when Airlines seperate these issues, that they become undone.
