What I always hate is the comment "The people that fly these aircraft will be payed less....... so we can offer cheaper fares" OK, I am only a stupid pilot BUT I AM SURE that there is more to offering cheaper fares than just "driving down" the cost of pilots. Why is it that we are always the ones used as an example? I have never heard anyone say, for instance, " Well as we are now operating the 75 seat OHTHATFEELSGOODJET as against the 199 seat BIGLUMP there will be less for me to say, so as company spokesperson I will take a 25% paycut, because that will lower fares"

I just think, that we are getting to the point of ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Answers on a postcard please !
