As long as we pay above RJ Fo or CFI wages the bottom of the barrel will still apply. That's why NC needs to really focus on FO pay too. We need quality guys.
I agree. However, I believe there are a couple of regionals that already pay better than us. Somebody posted that Endeavour is paying around 58K the first year (I'm assuming with some form of bonus)?
