You should have all gotten together and realized that hey, paying entry level pilots with six-figure debt less than what a fast food manager earns probably isn't a long term solution to the pilot retention problem you guys face.
First of all, I have no dog in this fight.
That being said... it's not the airlines, Major, regional, or otherwise, faults that guys and gals have six figure debt. It's just not their problem. There's plenty of people applying for and able to do that job without that kind of ridiculous debt. Most of them are just older and paid as they flew or had Mommy and Daddy foot the bill.
Do I think regionals oughta pay more? Absolutely. But the argument used above that personal debt and bad life choices are somehow any employers problem is just idiotic.
That is all.
