Unless regional pilots stop bending over for a "competitive" contract and start demanding a more progressive one, you are going to continue seeing this problem. Unfortunately, most go to the regional with the quickest upgrade because they can make captain pay quickly. How about we fight for a better contract and make current first year captain pay, first year FO pay? It may start with the yes voters but it is supported with the garbage that takes their place. When you start seeing fast workers with more unity than airline pilots, you start seeing how ********* up this industry is.
