A little off topic but a question for GR.
Is it the same all over the world? (I always wondered about that after watching Air America.) There was a pilot in SoCal who lost his ticket after "filming himself in a compromising situation with his female co-pilot" recently, and I wondered if his only choice is to go fly for drug dealers.
Back OT
I think getting the government involved in pricing is always a bad idea. However, certifications for all crews, from pilot, flight crew, mechanic and anyone else in the operation of aircraft should be (much like it is now) strictly controlled. About salaries, if anything, they should be higher for that same group of people.
I don't know if it would be a good thing or not. Doesn't matter what the government does (especially now). You're going to piss off half the country either way.
