Your understanding of economics of the matter are incorrect. Pay has very little to do with the size of operation. This is a false concept that people like you believe because you don't know any better. The truth of the matter that BJ makes triple the profit compared to AA. That's why analysts come up with numbers such as CASM which are always per unit (aircraft). Overall fleet profit is hardly ever described because it's a simple linear extrapolation of the per-unit revenue and profit. So the false argument saying that we shouldn't expect to pay rates of the major three or even four is absolute bunk. You are just buying into management propaganda that smaller airlines can't pay the same. This substandard expectation seems to be in the DNA of the average BJ pilot, particularly the MEC and NC.
