Exactly the average cost of the flight crew on a fifty passenger Jr. Is about 150 to 200 dollars. Fuel and maintenance and lease agreements are the higher cost.
The goal of the regional labor force is to keep many pilots away from mainline until they are in their 40s, therefore not collecting top pay for many years.
The goal of us wholly owned pilots should be to unite all three pilot groups under one common association and push the boundaries of the railway labor act. Unfortunately three separate unions are not capable of uniting the three pilot groups and what do we do right now... Oh those psa pilots suck... Those eaglevoy guys suck.. Those piedmont guys.. well they smell. No they really stink it's terrible.
We have to stop blaming the other group for the crap show we are in and which group did what first. We need to unite the groups.
