I thought that the pilots were prepared to take a pay cut, it is just that they don't want to be replaced by cheaper employees from other companies. I don't think any of us here would, if we were in the same situation.

On the other hand, I think that it is much better to give the best salary to the employees that are directly responsible for my safety (=pilots) instead of paying more to someone shuffling papers in an office.
