A minimum wage? Do you see how much backstabbing, and undercutting there is in business aviation? Do you see how we cannot even police our own airline pilots? Do you see people are trampling over each other to get jobs at places like GoJets, and Colgan? Colgan of all places!!!!

Gotcha.

Lame and unAmerican concept.

Let the market forces rule, tethered by the mild socialism of collective bargaining.

Of course you don't. If there was a min wage, ALPA couldn't negotiate a lower wage. This give them less room to work with.

It was done in the past, when the Airmail contract were rebid in 1935, the govenment back then wanted to make sure they got the best and brightest to fly the mail. This is a time that history should repeat itself.

Yeah, but back then planes were falling out of the skies every couple months.

Oh, wait . . . .
