They have, and it still isn't solving the problem. It's not about the money at the regionals, it's about the ability to actually get there.

Not everyone is making it to that $300,000 paycheck. The industry isn’t worth the risk for a lot of folks because unless you’re sitting on the throne it’s a never ending grind.

It's 100% about the money and QOL. There are plenty of pilots who don't pursue regionals or flying professionally because they can't afford a net $1,300 pay check and 11 days at home or less with commuting. Especially after the investment getting there.
