Do you think you fly 20% more legs? I am not being facetious, but those jets are going away.
Delta heavy captain would have to get $687-$979 per hour on your scale, probably on the over paid side, if not while hes flying certainly under some soft pay circumstances. I do think a crj900 captain could get paid Delta rates $1.49 per seat * 88= $131.12-10% mgmt profit $117 per hour for a 900 driver @ 10 years. I don't think that would fail in a vote.
