Good arguments. But has anyone ever sat down and determined with pencil and paper, just how much tickets will have to sell for to pay a F/O $60k/ yr and Capt $120k/ yr. Figure 39 - 76 seat plane, avg 3 - 4 legs a day.

Dont forget to include cost of F/A salaries, gas, overhead, mx, lease payments on the plane, mgt salaries, insurance, etc, etc.

In no means am I trying to stir the pot, or anything like that. Just wondering if those who say what the pay should be, have they thought about all the numbers involved.
