True. I've been at Comair almost 12 years. My pay rate is right at $75/hr (damn that makes me sick). I am trying to leave and go to a legacy or cargo carrier. I don't see many above me leaving or trying to leave. I think some get comfortable with their situation or justify it in terms of the years it would take to get back to where they were. For someone making $85 per hr, it would take about 7-8 years to make what they were making before. That, along with being based in JFK, EWR, DTW, or other junior cities seals the deal and keeps them right where they are.
