Wages will rise when they can’t get enough labor THEY CAN GAINFULLY EMPLOY. If labor isn’t a limiting factor in being profitable, there is no incentive to raise wages. Delta could probably empty out the regionals by offering CJOs to everybody AT CURRENT WAGES, but why would they? They don’t have the aircraft the routes, or the pax to gainfully employ another 30,000 pilots.
