I "think" you are kidding yourself 404 if you "think" that any airline would not want to get rid of medical, rental, schooling and other benefits tomorrow. I "think" it comes down to what they would like to do and what they can get away with. Who in their right mind does not "think" about the full benefits package when they join a company. It is rather insulting to say that because a pilot is 23 (or younger) that they are not mature enough to see the benefit of a medical plan!
