Okay- so lets go to management and ask newhire FO pay to be $70/hr on a 50 seat jet.
ExpressJet, Skywest, Horizon, etc. may be listed as majors by the DOT- but do any of them, with the exception of ExpressJet on a limited basis, do anything other than feed a major? They're just subcontractors. What happens to any of us when our respective "pimp" airline fails?
So let's get realistic here..... UA is a major, AS is a major, CO is a major, AA is a major..... XJT, CHQ, SKW, AE are not.
