the two are not mutually exclusive.
so, why not just treat pilots well? MONEY.

From your lips to the ears of those in charge of airlines today. Those folks used to be former "throttle jockies" ... but alas, today, the preponderance of those decision makers are fugitives from (and, no, I don't mean real fugitives) places like Bank of America, Citicorp, JP Morgan, etc. From their perspective the easiest place to exercise the descision of when, where, how, and how much regarding their expenditure of funds is how much they pay their employees. IF I had the answer, I'd be lolling on the shores of some pristine sand beach, not holed up in some hotel room ... Hmmmm ... now that I think of it, I'm going to suggest that each hotel paint their names and the city on the ceilings above the beds. That way we'll all know where we are the first thing in the morning - afternoon - evening - night ... ah ... well, you know what I mean.
