I'm glad to see you have chosen NOT to fly for free. If you and all your comrades have the backbone to hold out, you will have won one small battle for all of us... and they WILL HAVE to pay someone.
But, $200 a day for SIC? If you pull that off I want to hire you for my contract negociations. My guess would be more along $80 per day (plus per diem for RONs): or about $1600 per month. For a comparison, most regionals pay $20-25 per hour first year sic and have 75 gaurantee or $1500-1800 per month. Sorry for the reality check
