I didn't make that one because it would be full of forecasts and assumptions that I'm not willing to make. And in this ever changing environment, it would be rather useless. I like to stick to real data. But if you would like to take a stab at that, feel free.
And I tend to strongly agree with this:

I don't see how that's not the whole story or how you could possibly end up staying 5 years longer at endeavor over a contact carrier

A CFI friend and I pulled this together as he is looking at his different options. I just thought I would share it for others that may also be looking to compare regionals. Its kind of nice to see all the data in one place.
It's already old data, though. I just read that ExpressJet also raised first year pay to $40/hr. Maybe we will try to keep it updated and repost as the landscape changes. It would be great to see all the options get to at least industry standard soon.
