Wow, some powerful articles in the news
I haven't seen this many articles detailing the plight of regional airline pilots in a long time. All of these articles are the result of the American Eagle vote. This vote by AE MEC and pilots is having a major impact in the news.
What Can New Pilots Make? Near Minimum Wage - Yahoo Finance
Silver, AE, Colgan, GLA, and Republic all mentioned by name. It was co-written by two people from over at WSJ and in my opinion, they did a pretty good job of writing it.

I don't think Mr. Kletzel meant to have [have to] inserted into his statement. The author(s) should have left it as is since it's more accurate.

The fact that the name American is attached to the companys name will probably garner much more attention and criticism than ExpressJet, republic or Any other not well known regional carriers.
I'm sure the non informed public thinks American Eagle pilots make the most just because of the name...

"We have absolutely no ability to attract résumés" from pilots with 1,500 hours of flight time, said Doug Voss, chairman of Great Lakes, whose pilot salaries start at around $16,500 a year.

How does someone as stupid as Doug Voss become Chairman of any Company?

If you want the flying public to start becoming aware of the 2nd class wages at regionals, stop blurring the line between the two when dealing with passengers. Management already spends so much time and $$ trying to present the passenger with the illusion that regionals dont exist, dont help them with the "Thanks for flying United" PAs or "Yeah, I fly a CRJ 900 for Delta" lies. Tell people you work for American Eagle, does it really hurt that bad if someone asks if it is the clothing store?
Not saying this is you, but your post reminded me of something we/I see everyday
