Imagine a 5 year CA earning $105/hr and a 3 year FO earning $70/hr at a regional. I guarantee you, that many more of the regional pilots WILL NOT move to another airline if that was the case.

So, maybe a select few regional airlines, need to think in terms of being a long term "BIG" player in the market vs. always thinking they are a stepping stone.
