Aircraft -
Management know, that even if you give the pilots a $20K rise they will still move on. Why is it the pilots don't know that?

OK, hypothetically, would they still move on if you gave them a $100K payrise?

Probably not - "but thats ridiculous" I hear you say..."the airline can't afford it!"

OK, let the market decide what it can afford. Let the "poaching" continue, from the aero club to Rex to DJ to Emirates, let the market decide. It will all settle down eventually, it just requires a correction. Three cheers for the free market...

I just hope you don't expect the Market to keep a firm hand on minimum standards, training and experience.
The market is essentially deaf to the warning bells of disaster.
