Airlines like any other companies have to stop making money out of their employees and pilots now must just start putting an end to this spiraling effect of funding their jobs and working for free.
Indeed they should but be honest with ourself, 45% or 55% of them they will go bust. They won't fly anymore due to bankrupcy. Some routes are so hard-fought that airlines have an option of just 1% to make money. That means few seat of difference between to make incomes or to make debts.
