Let's use an example here. Imagine if corporations that employed lawyers attempted to slash their wages so much so that a new lawyer at said corporations was making around $18k a year. We're talking professional labor here. What do you think would happen? Now substitute pilot, another labor group that meets the sociological definition of a professional (requiring use of theory to accomplish tasks, making decisions based on said theory, making decisions that affect many people, sedentary labor requiring extensive training and multiple certifications). Now what do you think happens? Or wait, it already is happening...
