So are you saying that regionals are the reason the legacies took a huge pay cut and not bankruptcy?

If you want to use weight for measurement of pay, fine. Second year Southwest or American MD-80 guys makes what compared to what EOS second year FO makes? That is the point I am trying to make. It is tough to get pay up when you will fly a 757 for X amount while American is trying to get back to what they had. I don't see why that is so difficult to understand? If you want to use the aircraft's weight for a measurement of pay, we can do that too. Next post when I get bored.
