"oicur12.again, we do not have a free market system of capitalism. How can we when the most basic unit of the economy (money) is centrally planned & deliberately debased via the Central Banking system?"

But in practice, in the context of selling your skills as a pilot, it is a RELATIVELY free market. Flawed, yes, but its all we have.
If someone is willing to sell there labor for less than you then its up to you to respond.
