Sure, and

10th year 50 seat CMR CA = $83 (And don't forget they are BANKRUPT)
10th year 50/70/90 Seat SKYW CA = $74
10th year 50 seat AWAC CA = $74.
10th year 50 seat GoJet CA = $74.
10th year 50 seat PNCL CA = $72.
10th year 50 seat PSA CA = $72.
10th year 50 seat RJET CA = $68.
10th year 50 seat MESA CA = $68.
10th year 50 seat XJT CA = $67.

Plus, you are forgetting other factors . . . .

PAY STRUCTURE: Also need to look at how the pay structure works too. For example, SKYW I believe is the greater between actual block or average block. MESA is not. Ease of breaking guarantee. Lump that in here too.

BENEFITS: Type of benefits and the cost. I don't know all the benefits programs for each but, I can guarantee you they are not all the same. This is income too. You may pay $100/mo for one airline and $250/mo for the next.

BONUSES: Profit / Perfomance bonuses. Don't forget that. Which airlines offer those to their employees. (That has to be factored too)

PER DIEM: This is income too. Who has highest and who has lowest?

BUDDY PASSES: How many are offered? It cost $ to haul people. Cost to an airline for a 700 mile trip is around $100. (Avg. Seat Cost per mile)



Your assumption is that everything is the same. You are looking at one aspect vs. the complete package.

It would be like me saying, I will give you a bonus on sales. Which do you want?

a) (Sales A) x 2% = Bonus

or

b) (Sales B) x 10% = Bonus

Now if I fill in the blanks, it is easier to make a logical decision.

Sales A = $1,000,000 (Bonus = $20,000)
Sales B = $100,000 (Bonus = $10,000)

10% sounds so much better, but in reality it is exactly 1/2 the dollar amount. This same idea can work in reverse for figuring out airline compensation.
