Pay decreases only when pilots vote for decreases. In my case Comair took a freeze then a cut, I left. Best move I ever made career wise BTW.
It's the only professional career where newbies are willing to work for those wages. And the only career where people ( nerds) get excited because a regional jet has engines under its wing, and they get to fly it!
To add.
Not being paid while your in training.
Having to share a hotel room while in training.
Required uniform is paid by the employee.
Being at work and not getting paid
I'm sure many can add to this list but this "professional" career is a joke
I'm 7 years in at Pinnacle and I take home between 2000 and 2200$ a month. I took almost a 10$ an hour pay cut because 80% of my fellow pilots think that's all we're worth.
Sad sad state this profession has become.
