I dunno John, you're probably right and maybe I'm not as cynical as I thought. One thing's for certain though, the families of the victims of the Colgan crash (many well heeled) were absolutely flabagasted when made aware of the T&C's of the pilots who were entrusted with their loved ones lives on that dark snowy night.
It may not be on message, or fashionable to mention pilots being exploited, but it'll sure as hell feature right in the public's face if we see a similar accident here!
