I haven't had the chance to tune in today. All I can say is this:
If certain/some of the Senators perception is that its all a case of whining pilots/cabin crew then best they wrap it up ASAP and stop wasting peoples time. As far as I'm concerned let the industry continue to run its course as it has been for decades. Let foreign FO's with 200 hours sit in the RHS, let the BOC and the B scales roll on.
Experienced pilots will take their skills to another country or industry: Problem solved. There's more than one way to make a dollar you know. It's not like jail where you can't leave.
If you're going to be doing BOC for the rest of your life might as well do it full service where the entire business model isn't based on cost cutting:
