Using your numbers:

$135 / 76 seats = $1.78/seat/hr
$1.78 / $2.41 = 74%
The cost for pilots on a 76 seat RJ is 74% of the cost of a 737-800. Well over half.
Are you that daft or just bad at solving logic problems?

You didn't add the 401K 16% or profit sharing mainline pilots receive in your calculations. The 737-800 could never be successful in the majority of markets in the 76-100 seat category.
