You raise some interesting points . . . answer is really just because
that's
what the market will bear.

Those who sell *anything* to pilots know that we love it so much we will
pay
whatever it costs to keep doing it, because the only form of protest is to
stop
paying . . . and stop flying.

I can't do that.

Kinda like cocaine, huh? :~)
