When will our associations spend some of our money on building the passengers attitude about airline pilots?

Here my example...

A flight on Delta from MSP to MCO costs (SideStep.com) $144 one-way. How much do your professional pilots cost?

A320 Captain - $150 per hour - flight 3.5 hrs
A320 First Officer - $100 per hour - flight 3.5 hrs
Benefits and reserve costs - 50% - $125 per hour - flight 3.5 hrs
A320 carrys - 140 passengers

A320 flight crew costs to fly MSP-MCO is $1312.50
or $9.37 per passenger

6.5% of your ticket


Federal taxes are $10.60 per passenger
Check your first bag is $15 per passenger
Check your second bag is $20 per passenger

We are cheap by a number of measures, highly trained professionals, with no fatalities in the majors since 2003. We needs to spend part of our dues on building and maintaining the level of our profession. That goes for IBT747,APA too.
