This is almost 3x the pay for less than 2x the seats....
Parity for the exact same skillset.
And that's just the pay rates. don't forget the rest of the DL compensation package.
But the part I meant to elaborate on is how you can justify asking for that kind of compensation in the current regional airline bargaining environment.
Oh, and run those numbers again, divided by seats for a 50 seat RJ vs a 149 seat MD88, and see how much disparity it isn't per seat.
