Most can't raise first year pay if they wanted to...ALPA will say nope...you must raise ALL our pay to raise first year. They can't afford to do that because the Airline they are lifting for will tell them to pound sand when they ask for more money just like United and Delta told Pinnacle to do.

They want the lift and they want it cheap or not at all. They have customers that want their round trip to Ft Myers for $69 and won't pay a penny more.

Someone needs to pay up and no one wants to so screw everyone. You want me to fly? PAY ME
