If anyone really believe that an ATR CA making 100k a year is part of the problem.... then your expectations are PART of the problem. 100K a year to fly a 66 seat TP with probably a very senior schedule... decent QOL...etc....thats not the problem. Pay has always been relative in this industry. I believe this is an insane industry because BOTH MGT and LABOR ( pilots ) have been executing the same freaking game plans over and over again....and expect a different result...thats insanity. If labor does not THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX this time around.... it will be disastrous.
TOO many ego's in this thread. And EGO's are why this conundrum will be with this industry for along time to come.
