I spent 8 years flying for the regionals myself so I know what it's like.
What are you smoking. NK has never been an industry leader in pay. Not even close. They may have had an hourly pay rate somewhere in the longevity scale that matched or was slightly higher than United or Delta but once you added soft pay, work rules, retirement, etc it wasn't even close. I have to laugh when some dude at NK tries to pull the whole " oh we use to be industry leaders" line. So is Allegiant an industry leader because their first year pay was higher than Southwest until SW newest contract was passed? Get real dude!!! NK has always been a second tier airline that's the facts jack.
