Enjoy your 1%.
Mercyful isn't a pilot. Just a shareholder who doesn't know how to spell Merciful (at least the band had an excuse).
I'm ready to bail once I hit my upgrade hours if something doesn't change. Yeah, I'll be junior. But for a difference of $20-30k? Worth it, that's a substantial raise at this pay rate.
And for those who aren't in SkyEast, 80% of the pilots I fly with complain about the schedules, days off, pay, etc. While maintaining professionalism, of course. But most are realistic about our current position in the industry. I haven't had any who are debby downers about it, but everyone has a comment to make. Even some of the big names have made comments when I've talked with them on the ground or flown with them...I'd hope that's a sign that things might change.
