People will be willing to accept less for their work when they have put less of investment into the goal. When you can become an airline pilot in 90 days and go to flying a 90 seat jet for Pinnacle why should you make more than $24 an hour for second year FO. I hope you are happy. People's progression to the next step at 250 hours to Mesa and Pinnacle and accepting it is killing regional pay. Regional pay hasn't really kept up with inflation, let alone the growth in the size of aircraft we are flying around. Until these companies are hurting for pilots it won't increase because others have to compete. Stop selling yourselves out.
