I agree that most pilots don't care about money at the regional level but you should not be flying passengers when you could make more at McDonalds. Raise first year pay across every regional, it won't break the bank. But you have to take care of all your pilots also. The regional has been sold in the past as a stepping stone, but that is not the case anymore. If it is a stepping stone, guarantee a spot with a major. Don't allow Delta to shop around and get rewarded by finding someone willing to do flying for next to nothing. Or shut down their WO flying or just use them to whipsaw other regionals. It is a broken model and has nothing to do with the hours they are requiring pilots to have.
