Only problem fearcampaign, is now those same guys who spend $100k on training and 5 years in the bush will go to VA or JQ to fly 330's, 777's or 787's. And those airlines have no trouble attracting suitable candidates to work under a more efficient contract. The world moved on from the LH benchmark a long time ago.
