Have received a reply from these lying bastards yet? I'd love to see what pile of dung they spew out.

What a silly thread and ridiculous claim. Besides, as evidenced by our good friends at PSA, the law of supply and demand doesn't apply to pilots. Evidently we're rather dumb.

I see the current regional model collapsing. The affiliated regional will be liquidated and the assets transferred to the major partner/owner. This will result in MUCH more hiring at mainline than projected just for retirements. So the average wage WILL go up. Instead of 50% of the lift nationwide being done on a "C" scale, most all of it above a CR700 type will be at mainline at mainline wages. I think the first hint of this happening will come later this year/early next at DAL in our C2015 negotiations. We currently have CR900/Emb195 rates but they are too high. Look for those to be lowered and CR700 rates added.
All the Regional guys have to do to keep the snowball rolling is VOTE NO!!!

Airlines are obviously interested in perpetuating the pilot shortage myth because it will prove useful when the time comes. It's as simple as marching an army of k-street lobbyist with " campaign contributions" up to capital hill to grease the skids for loose work visa programs and the passage of MPL. All because these are jobs Americans simply won't do and Jim bob is entitled to a cheap fare/lol.
Never under estimate management's ability to collude with the district of criminals.

I left a respectable comment on the original linked article disagreeing with his assertion, but it got moderated and deleted. To me that means this guy is using hyperbole in an attempt to attract more (gullible) people to fill seats and line his pockets. Despicable!

I do not think this is wishful thinking.
I have an idea to purchase ExpressJet and restructure it into a 100% pro-rate carrier. I have drafted a proposed CRJ/ERJ payscale that would allow the carrier to pull pilots from other regionals:
CRJ/ERJ FO:
Yr 1: $50
Yr 2: $55
Yr 3: $60
Yr 4: $65
Yr 5+: $70
CRJ/ERJ CA:
Yr 1: $79
Yr 2: $82
Yr 3: $85
Yr 4: $88
Yr 5: $91
Yr 6: $94
Yr 7: $97
Yr 8: $100
Yr 9: $103
Yr 10: $106
Yr 11: $109
Yr 12: $112
Yr 13: $115
Yr 14: $118
Yr 15: $121
Yr 16: $124
Yr 17: $127
Yr 18: $130
At this price point, EV would not be able to win CPA flying, but it would be able to profitably fly its own routes with a major code attached.
