The captain is paid $1 to $1,5 per seat. The total cost for both pilots is $1,5 to $2 per seat or per each $370 dollar ticket. It must clearly be the lowest part of operating that aircraft and it is ridiculously low.

People tip the van driver to the airport more than what they pay for the pilot flying them. How in the hell can management get away with this?
