So add another quarter... And don't allow it to go to the exec's fat christmas bonuses either.

These decisions are all made by management. If they do decide to raise fares, they are certainly going to pocket the extra, not give it to regional FO's.

The best pay idea you can have is to quit flying. Regionals follow industry standards, there is no way in hell that they would raise pilot pay out of generosity. All of them are the lowest bidders, you can think about pay when you go to an airline that makes their own business.

Perhaps you should have paid attention in those college classes you claimed to take on that other thread..

There is only one person concerned with how much you are making.. you.

As was stated before, you already agreed to work for a pre-determined rate, so why do you deserve more?

Business 101: the goal of any company: increase shareholder wealth. Any tax/fee/addendum to ticket prices which tranlates to profit belongs to the shareholders or owner of the company, not you.

If you are suggesting that the government step in and tax passengers to subsidize your lifestyle, then I cringe at the pandora's box that would open.

Sorry, business 101 was not required in my major.

They're right -- best and only thing you can do is leave for greener pastures. Or negotiate more next contract of course...but good luck with that LoL

Why should they when you're willing to work for the peanuts you get.

It kills me to say that $35/hr ain't bad compared to what I was making as a Regional wh.re
