United max FO pay on a A320 is $91/hr. Divide that by the 154 seats on a TED flight and makes $0.59 per seat.

ExpressJet max FO pay is $43/hr. Do the math... $0.86 per seat.

SkyWest max FO pay for the 50 seat RJ is $41/hr. That equals $0.82 per seat.

And that is a very limited sample. I left out NWA, TSA, MAG, etc.

Let's talk about the real issue... SkyBus CA = $70/hr. FO = $31/hr. Allegiant max pay is $108 and $56 respectively.

No one is happy with their pay, but I didn't agree to allow regionals to fly 66 seat aircraft (United) in my contract or 76 seat 900's (Delta). I have no desire to make a career at a regional. My favorite is allowing Mesa to operate 86 seaters. That is great scope on US Airways Union. Now US Airways is operating E190's for not much more than that. Do your homework son, it isn't the regional pilots causing this. And I didn't sign an agreement allowing this abuse until 2011 (Northwest) or 2009 (United).

Who do you work for that makes you too good to fly for a regional that actually gets paid as much per seat as a Legacy? I always understood more seats = more responsibility = more revenue = more pay? Hence, the per seat argument.
