actually, mainline carriers use regionals because they do it cheaper. If regionals raise the pay, the benefit for the airlines to contract to regionals is no longer there and mainline carriers would grow. Regionals get the pay they deserve as profesionals and job progression to a major would also be a viable option. A win win situation..... just not for management.
