Yes, this is productive, folks. The airlines, bolstered by the pilot unions, will continue their constant roller-coaster rides into and out of bankruptcy. Creditors, vendors, lenders, all get pennies on the dollar in these settlements while the poor, mistreated union pilots of the major scheduled carriers earn from $130-250K, working well less than 100 hours per month....unionized pilots from United and Continental said they would not permit a merger of the carriers unless the pilots support the terms of any proposal. "The management teams of United and Continental must understand one hard fact," the union leaders said. "The pilots of our respective airlines will not allow any merger unless management meets or exceeds our demands to be treated fairly and equitably. "Our concerns will be addressed before we ever agree to allow our airlines to merge."
Rant over. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

I could not agree more. The sense of entitlement that the union is exhibiting is amazing. Airlines only need pilots if they have flights that require their services.
It's a free market economy, and there are plenty of pilots at the secondary carriers who would love to fly for one of the majors.
