Don't you think management relishes every time you say you don't want industry leading pay or feel mainline pilots are overpaid. If no one goes up in pay and everyone seeks the average the average goes down. If you are not flying for across the board industry leading rates then there is work to do. I am not saying it should happen at once, but regionals need to start incrementaly leap-frogging each other up, not down.
