It shows that the RJ's are too expensive to generate anysort of profit without a Mainline fee for departure revenue model. - Dangerkitty
I always laugh when I hear statements like that. let's see...the majors are losing billions (DAL loses 5 Billion in just a few years). Apparently the 757, 767, 777, 737, etc are too expensive! I just read SKYWEST is getting 22 CR7. How many new airplanes will be at DAL in the next few months?
Surely, someone is running the numbers on these things!
The reason your payrates are suppressed is because you have thousands of 23 year old snot nosed kids with shiny jet syndrome willing to sell their soul just to get in the right seat of an RJ. For every RJ pilot that states "enough is enough" and leaves the industry all together there are probably 100 willing to take his or her place. - Dangerkitty
The career path has been the same for as long as I can remember. Get your ratings, instruct, small corporate / freight, regionals, and then majors. The only thing that has changed is that the regionals are now getting better airplanes. Now, suddenly all the regional pilots are sell-outs??? What was your career path? How much money did you earn while at the regionals?
It drives me crazy when someone travels the same path, finally reaches their goal (majors), and then turns and condemns everyone else who is trying to make it.
I think what we really need is some of you at the majors making $150-200K to say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" and quit!!! There are too many pilots at the majors! You guys are holding up the whole process! You're holding me up, dude!
It's all supply and demand! Too many damn pilots at the majors!
