Boiler suggested a 2-4 dollar raise per person, and I too immediately turned to my trusty calculator to do some math. His $6 math was a bit steep, so i did the same math with $2. @ $2 it would come out to 204,000 per month, 2,448,000 per year, and who knows how much in OT they would have to pay with the increase in pay. Now i am not saying that pilots do not deserve this...god knows i am not saying that...I know i could desperately use some extra money right now. But you can see where a company sees the downfall in paying even as little as $2 more per hour, less profits for them. And we all know that management does not want to take that 2.4 million and give it to pilots, when they can give it to themselves as bonuses. My suggestion...if you do not like regional airline wages, don't go to them...there are other ways to get your experience and move to the majors. Or go to a regional as a management type and then you can pay yourself that 2.4 million as a bonus each year.
