Regionals will slowly increase they pay scale, but it will take time.
First of all they have to pick up every pilot out in the market that is willing to fly jets for less than 1700 dollars a month. Once there is no pilots out there they will bring up the payscale and attract other pilots to come work for them.

Bottom line it's all about money, if the operator can use us pilots as slaves to make a profit they will.

Thats why we have a pilot shortage, because the industry sucks!!!! Not many students want to become pilots anymore. If you walk in to a big flight school in US this days you will only see Indian and Chinese students. Where are the US guys!!!!! No interest, why should he or she spend a lot of money and earn peanuts!!!


But it is about to change.

Spoke with a former Delta Airline Captain the other day regarding the pilot shortage in US, he told me that we are going to see the biggest pilot shortage in aviation. He said that the problem is not only in US the problem is spread around the world, China, India and Middle East and it keep growing.

Good Luck guys
