Not sure about RAH but SKW payscale goes to 20 years, captains make more than AE and FOs make more than AE. Their FAs also get paid better than AE. I also know that their management sent out documents saying that SKW is the most expensive regional in terms of labor, and they are the second most profitable. According to them, guess who the most profitable regional is. Yup, eagle.
Edit: I would like to point out that their FOs flying the CRJ-200 make more than the FOs flying the -700 here at Eagle. How SKW could do the flying cheaper than AE is beyond me.
