At risk of being accused of being a koolaid drinker (I'm not) I'll point out that SKW pay includes bonuses which are probably worth 10-15% above base pay. These kick in over the first three years. I'm know some regionals don't pay a cent over hourly rate, and I know other regionals have similar bonuses.

This chart is useless without taking that into account, not to mention work rules...

Holiday Pay
Performance Bonuses
Deadhead Pay
Vacation drops
Rigs (if any)
CANX Pay
Repo Pay

Etc, etc it all adds up.
