No doubt there are pilots who are not trying to leave, but what percentage of each carrier is that?
What is the date of the door closing?
Mid 2016????
Time for pilots flying $30 million dollar aircraft with 70 plus passengers to get paid $100,000 minimum for a first officer.
Then you are going to have to replace almost every regional first officer with first officers with REAL experience and that are worth $100,000/yr. Because current regional pilots aren't worth it since most are entry level pilots and what you are wanting isn't an entry level job anymore.
You can't have it both ways..... entry level pilots commanding $100,000/yr. You aren't worth it.
