The vast majority of regional newhires are entry level pilots. They are paid commensurate with the experience they bring to the job. If you want higher starting pay at the regionals, then it no longer becomes an entry level job as experienced pilots would be drawn to the position and therefore, the traditional inexperienced regional newhire would no longer be considered for the job.
What you guys want is for regional newhires with no experience to be paid like experienced pilots should be paid. You have to pay your dues and you can't have it both ways.
