Right, but it also says a regional pilot makes $62,000 after 5 years. I wish!
Until recently that's pretty much been the case.

Well you probably lucked out. Probably Compass or getting in at RAH at the right time. But for 95% of the regional pilots they aren't gonna see that in just 3-5 years.
How many professional jobs put you in a big city and expect you to live on less then 20k a year?

It would be interesting to look at that graph and see the correlation to lower pay and stupid actions by pilots that lead to deaths... Oh wait. Never mind.
Off the top of my head for the last 5 or 6 yrs:
Colgan: 50(+2)
Comair: 49
MAG: (~21)
Pinnacle: 2
Not sure if you were being smart or making a legitimate point, but I fail to see a correlation.
Note, counts in parenthesis were deaths that I attribute to stupid actions by maintenance, not pilots.
But that would make sense, and ALPA wouldn't know how to do that.for those of you who bash other regionals-kiss off. Like you were sellected at your high and mighty regional because of your awesome qualifications and resume'. Most of us took the first regional job we were offered-I for one how Pinnacle gets a great contract and more flying and I work for Mesaba. I must say this, our system is broke and ALPA needs to do something about it. I do not know what, we are too divided to come together and figure somehting out. But one thing is for sure, is that if all Delta carriers had the same pay and work rules, then delta would not be able to play us off against one another. that might be a start. But throw skywest in there.....they fly for everyone it seems...maybe let them pay their pilots a little more as they do have good pay, I wouuld hate to make them get lower pay! good luck all.
