Since supply and demand method dictates some positions pay well, and most positions (especially at the regional carriers) pay pathetically low, then the FAA must intervene and set a minimum. Again in the interest of the safety of the flying public! Besides...what FAA mandate hasn't been met with protest by the airline bean counters?, every requirement in the ops manual already costs the "operator" lots of money

This, I think, will somewhat help the situation. It's not the only solution, but it's a start to a long and over due problem of an industry that has failed collectively.

That's my bit, thanks.
