That's because they already have theirs. They mostly live in high QOL, low COL towns and pull down $130K+ without even trying (to say nothing of the training bubbas).
Most are not willing to rock the boat hard to try to push their pay into the mainline realm. Particularly since they remember how that worked out for COMAIR.
Actually hard to blame them.
