The MD88 is .$96 per seat per hour; MD90 is .$91; 737 is $1.02 (avg); 76/75 is $.71; 764 is $.68 per seat per hour. Average five year 50 seat FO pay is $.76 per seat per hour while mainline ranges between $.42 and $.63 per seat per hour. Based on this scenario, who is overpaid and who is underpaid?
This reminds me of a quote that is quite appropriate here...
