This is a fiercely competitive business with a huge over-supply of relatively qualified pilot labor. The math is easy.
I disagree. Supply and demand, while it has some effect, is an excuse. Flight attendants are making more at continental than most, if not all regional first officers. CAL FA tops out around $60 and hour. Based on supply and demand theory, that would mean there are more people applying to be first officers than their are people applying to be flight attendants. The supply for flight attendants is virtually infinite. They just have the balls to vote NO. Maybe because they aren't worried about upgrading faster. Most aren't the sole providers of financial support in their families, they can risk it. That is why you are only worth what you negotiate....Not what the supply and demand market will support.
Just vote NO!
