I assume the last three words are the job titles of the author of the article - honesty for a change...........
Yes, that is why I have added the source.
Still, who would have thought 10 years ago that Michael Moore would be interested by the supposed "demise" of the airline pilots? Itself it is something.
Speaking about Irak, Weapon industry, capitalism, I think we all can understand (agree or disagree), knowing who the guy is. But airline pilots?


Beanbag:
Of course these salaries seem crazy, but remember nobody is forcing these guys to work for peanuts. They're all well educated people, they could get other jobs, but they choose to fly because they love it. And since deregulation the airlines have been able to exploit that.
What about the airlines, the training industry?

Let' s say the accident rate rises a bit, and that we even evaluate that in some cases, that is because fatigue, low salaries... Who is responsable?
Training industry? The crew? The airline?
So first we have to evaluate wether there is a link or not between low wages and safety. If this is the case, who has to do something?
