You will still have to do more than that to discredit me. I have yet to see someone argue my post about pilots at the majors taking paycuts and concessions to keep their jobs. I have seen people point out errors in grammer, and use obscure qoutes ( obscure to me atleast). My whole point is that I believe PFJ is not hurting the industry when pilots furhter above the food chain are taking paycuts and concessions to keep their jobs. Kind of like a reverse PFJ if you look at it correctly.

" I will give up 30% of my pay to continue to work here." By taking the paycuts, pilots told mangagement exactly what they are worth. Economics dictates a backward flow and the regionals adjusted. If the pilots at the majors (the top of the aviation food chain) took paycuts, then obviously the pay at the regionals was going to decrease as well.

Have you ever heard of mob mentality? "I have no clue what I am mad at but everybody is beating this thing over here so I will join them and beat it as well." That is the same thing going on here. One person says PFT/PFJ is bad, and everybody starts beating it to death. I didn't PFT/PFJ, but I won't sit with blinders on and say it is the reason the industry is paying pilots so little. ##### rolls downhill and you need only to look above you to see where the ##### is coming from.
