I wonder why everyone says pilots pay is a small portion of cost for a regional airline. Most do not own any planes. Pinnacles pilots cost per year was around 180 million.

Airlines continue to say pilot cost are very high but this cost also includes our training that is required by the regulations and shouldn't be taken against us, our compensations is a very small piece of the pie a very small percentage of the CASM but is an easy place for the airlines to make adjustments.

If you grab the pie the take a slice for maintenance, another for fuel, another for cost as insurance, hangars office space, employee training, HR, pay other workgroups and other misc expenses you will see that the pilot compensation is a very small piece of the pie considering we are who make the airplane fly!

You need to break down labor cost further, then compensation and when it winds down pilot compensation is a very small part of the pie. Management has chosen to hit us over the head for pilot cost, meaning everything that is required by regulations that we have no control over. If you are a pilot you shouldn't be thinking like management, when they reduce pilot cost they reduce pilot compensation, not the other related cost that we get smacked over the head with...

There used to be a mantra that at AA, the pilots (as well as everybody else) helped "save" the airline from BK when everyone else was going into BK. Well, didn't work out so well.
