I'd be interested to know how flight crew salaries actually impact ticket prices.

But I'd much rather pay a bit more for my flight to know that my pilot is getting a decent wage, and didn't have to live with his/her parents and fly across the country in order to get to work.
Feel free to start a company, hire only the best pilots, advertise yourself as the safest and most professional around, grossly "overpay" your crews, and charge a big premium for it.

Maybe it would even work.

PS: How was airline travel in any way a better experience for passengers pre deregulation?
