So about 120 an hour. Same with FOs, the average mainline FOs pay is around 90 to 100 bucks an hour. They should be close to that at least 60 to 70.

Is there any question that ^^^ THIS ^^^^ would, (in very short-order), solve the shortage of pilots for
any regional airline adoptin it?
I don't think so. But hey, let's convene a two-day summit at Humpty Diddle to see if we can come up with an idea (other than increasing pay) to solve the problem that
WE CREATED!!!!
I snicker at the mental image of these self-important stuffed-shirts attending this conference and craning their necks to avoid seeing that
HUGE elephant in the room. "What elephant?? I don't see an elephant!! Who left that big pile of elephant dung on the floor??"
