Just to play devil's advocate, I don't think DAL would still be around if they were still paying Contract 2000 wages. It could even be argued that they might not have had to enter BK (following AAL's lead) if they had cut wages a couple years sooner than they did, when the writing was on the wall. Instead the airline needlessly burned through billions of dollars in cash reserves when doing so was clearly unsustainable due to the state of the industry.
That being said, I believe we as airline pilots do need to establish a bottom line below which we will not stoop (don't become MESA!); I'm just saying that that line is sometimes lower than where you currently are.
Very difficult decisions for all involved. I sincerely wish the best for you guys.
I have plenty of money in the bank and a 2nd income so I have that option. Thank you very much...
when most people entering the regional world have no other work experience, that's a hard thing to ask for
I'd be willing to bet this guy sells Amway too......

Our job is to fly airplanes, not chip in for gas. Some of you idiots out there need to realize what the rest of the professional world out there earns and value yourselves a bit.
ding! ding! ding!...we have a winner. this is spot on. most regional pilots are hired on at 23 or younger, its their first/only job other than flight instructor. the $16-$21hr they are thrown is twice what they were making instructing or bagging groceries. they still live at home, and have no expenses. they have no perspective whatsoever.
