But don't think that just demanding they raise ticket prices to better compensate us regional peon will make that happen. I will guarantee you one thing, if ASA/XJT got big raises and costly QOL enhancements....they will be replaced by Mesa, GoJets, Colgan, etc in a heartbeat! It's not what you want or think you are worth.....it's what the market will bear!
I hear what your saying and I will always respect another's opinion. I will say though that I disagree with the attitude of your position. We need to stand up and fight for fair wages and work rules. I don't think $20,000 a year and pretty much ever other level of regional pay is fair. Just folding under the pressure and the scare tactics of management are the reason we are have the contracts we have now. If we all stand up for a good contract at all of our respective airlines, then the race to the bottom will stop. If what you say happens, then so be it. It's time for a change and fair pay

I don't know what is wrong with people. Why do some want to continue down this path? I cannot answer that question because I don't have a clue.
