Not just using the company, they are using the other pilots in the industry that have held out for higher wages and choose to work for better companies that attempt to raise the bar just so they could chase the fabled dream of working for a major. My advice... look at where the industry has grown over the last 10 years, we will all be at regionals longer than we think.
