You guys really buy the whole regional pilots can't get paid more because the airplanes are small. I am sorry but Delta is parking DC-9 of similar size of airplanes being flown at the regionals. I don't buy this whole BS about an airplane being smaller and can't pay. We are basically flying 76 seat airplanes for prop wages 15 years ago while mainline pilots' hourly rates are approaching what they were 15 years ago. Last I checked the airlines are making record profits and their respective stocks have increase in value. The airline industry was one of the top performers in Wall Street in 2013. Management doesn't pay more to the regional pilots because there is always someone willing to do it cheaper.
