Pay at the FEEDER carriers will not increase substantially until all those involved, including management but mainly the pilots who have to fight for those wages come to grips with the fact that they should negotiate those wages as if they will be their payscale for the rest of their life instead of taking the attitude that the mediocre pay is ok because the average FEEDER pilot only stays there 3-5 years. The fact is more and more pilots are making the choice to stay at companies such as Eagle, RAH, XJET, Skywest etc, and make a career out of it. Then and only then will we see wages nearing what they should and work rules to match.
