I still can't get my head around one basic question. Would the worst regionals have trouble finding pilots if the pay at the best majors doubled? Think about it.
The higher the pay and benefits at the big five the lower it can be at the rest. I heard JO say as much in a conversation I had with him many years ago. He will always believe it.

The model is broken and with a 10+ year deferred gratification goal line how many can! want and/or will sign on for the ride. It's gotten to be a bad investment.

He'd stop "believing it", if people would finally stop lining his pocket by going to work for his and other bottom feeders! If he couldn't staff the flying, he'd have no other choice than to actually raise pay, benefits, work rules, and treatment of his employees!

Right, but until that happens he'll just keep getting the latest greatest Porsche delivered to the corporate office every few years, to show all his underlings, just like he did at WestAir back in ~1992. He is a jerk extrodinair. A zebra can't change their stripes.

JO tells you to your face he plans to screw you whereas Risley was sneaky at screwing you! Either way it hurts.

From: Square root of the variance and average of the variation
My Envoy net pay from new hire to present (reserve, less than 6 months) averages $700 every two weeks. The only way I can do it (short term) is because I made just shy of six figures the last couple years at FlightSafety. Even the six year pay does not equal to an acceptable lifestyle for a professional pilot.
