That's OT pay though. The 205/hr is not. Plenty of 175% flying here as part of your awarded line.

The WOs aren’t the only ones paying $50ish/hr. Mesa to Skywest and everything in between aren’t paying that much different. SKW is planning on growing to 7K pilots by end of next year. No flow with anyone else. I foresee changes. There will have to be, but the demise of regionals is not around the corner. There is just too much incentive to keep two separate classes of pilots. Still have fractionals and part 135 stuff. Wages and conditions will have to change and more people will start deciding to be pilots again.

The problem is that the AAG business model REQUIRES regional feed and they DON’T (at least not yet) need flow. They can (at least at present) meet their mainline new hire needs by hiring ex military, hiring away competitors regional pilots, and hiring ULCC people who are still junior enough to be tempted. But increasing the rate of acquisition of their own regional pilots would just hurt their bottom line. They’d much rather hurt their competitors bottom lines by stealing their pilots than make it harder to keep their own regionals fully staffed.
And I really think if F9 and NK do something about their ludicrous first year pay, a lot of regionals are going to lose a lot of reasonably senior people.

This will be interesting to watch play out.
