I don't have all the answers because I don't have all the facts. I think it will be difficult to fill those seats but you are right, someone might do it. I find the idea of patients lacking.... it's a long career and sometimes you have to play the long game to get better rewards. I'm not advocating lower pay for anyone, which is why I hope no one applies to work there until the wages are fair market value and not discounted. Which means... some people may have to say no to advancing into the left seat for 703 wages until the time is right and that means patients. The old axiom "The toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow" comes to mind.
Personally, I believe we all need more money and I will never say any different. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if ALPA can have a positive effect on the outcome. If they can't, then it is incumbent upon everyone who looks at this job to think very carefully about not only the short term but the long term career implications this company represents.
