The passengers have been paying far more than $2 more per seat. The airlines have been raising not just ticket prices, but all kinds of ancillary revenues as well. Combine this with the fact that oil prices have been dropping for months, and are close to half of what they used to be, and they could give every single regional pilot double digit increases all the while producing record profits!
