First year CA pay on the A319 (128 seats): $255/hour = $2 per seat
First year CA pay on the E175 (76 seats): $76/hour = $1 per seat
Regional pilot subsidize mainline pilot wages. It's a Ponzi scheme.[/QUOTE]
Major airlines are posting quarterly profits in the billions. The only thing regional pilots are subsidizing are airline profits and not mainline wages.

The money that fuels mainline wage and benefit increases is available regardless of regional pay. Low regional pay subsidize nothing but increased profits for management and Wall Street.
