It would be crazy for sure. Notice that at age 7, JetBlue still isn't what Southwest is today. And JetBlue is a decent company actually offering good service to customers and crew. Skybus is a disgrace, and when the public gets a taste of their pathetic product, they won't be around long...

There's a big difference in a 35-50 seat RJ than a 150 seat Airbus, Walt.

You have openly set this standard while most of the people you graduated from the universitys with have started at 40 to 70K in other career fields. And they didnt have flight school costs/debt.

If I were managing Skybus I might be inclined to offer the same that they are.

Maybe its because the Airbus is not an entry level aircraft and should and paid accordingly. Where as the CRJ/ERJ are (for now) entry-level aircraft.

As far as wages being depressed. Have you been hiding under a rock? This industry took a huge hit 6 yrs ago and all airline management has taken advantage of it buy severely decreasing wages. The wage depression continues but will begin increasing once those concessionary contracts that have been rammed down labors throat are up for negotiations. NWA and others won't be able to hide their profits for much longer.
