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.
Offer any 4 year RJ F/O no pay raise but the balance of the A/A contract and see how the vote turns out.
And no... you're not going to get that kind of compensation with the system as it is.... There will have to be some consolidation...Internally within single companies, between "regionals" or between regionals and majors.
