Operating Profit (or loss) in Millions:

2006 - 167,641
2007 - 182,175
2008 - 140,592
2009 - 140,036
2010 - 144,687
2011 - 90,552

AE-
2006 - 185,903
2007 - 185,713
2008 - 86,483
2009 - 152,222
2010 - 152,398
2011 - 93,875

Regional Airlines Salaries (in millions):

Skywest -
2006 - 431,611
2007 - 511,317
2008 - 515,580
2009 - 503,458
2010 - 541,557
2011 - 440,000

AE -
2006 - 486,653
2007 - 505,484
2008 - 488,819
2009 - 478,664
2010 - 505,605
2011 - 411,779

Skywest and AE have nearly identical profits and salaries over the past five years.

Skywest had the highest Salary burden in the Regional Airline business, while AE had the second highest.

AE had the highest Operating profit in the Regional Airline business, and Skywest had gthe second highest Operating Profit.

Both did quite well, DESPITE their high salary burdens.

The only two things this proves are:

1. There is a lot more in play than pilot salaries when deciding who gets a CPA.

AND

2. Pilots should never vote in a pay decrease.
