But let’s be real here, had there been no pandemic and thus no subsidies, Breeze and Avelo would still be paying sub-par wages.

Remember what SkyBus paid Airbus pilots in 2008 when airlines were furloughing? I’m not going to shed a tear that startups looking to capitalize off desperate pilots trying to find work are not able to attack talent as easily as they wanted on sub par wages. I hope all guys out of work due to Covid find a good paying gig as airline hiring kicks off again.
