Its only really nice if you think that what regional pilots are paid is anywhere near acceptable.
Their negotiated pay rate for "RJs" is, when compared to their other fleet types and historical numbers for similar sized aircraft, still low. Just because its 2x or so what regional pilots are getting paid doesn't mean its "REAL nice." Its still low but its a heckuva lot better.
