What's wrong with paying pilots and airline workers a decent wage? Beating high costs of some consumer goods and services is reasonable, but must we 'nickel and dime' trained professionals who safely transport your loved ones?

Pretty screwed up priorities if you ask me.

You do realize that by doing this technique you're not physically taking money out of airline pilots' wallets, right? Airlines already screw over pilots (WSJ says average starting salary for a commercial airline pilot is ~$30k) so I don't think this technique will really impact wages of airline employees either way.
