Even if my pay doubled it wouldn't have an appreciable effect on the cost of a ticket.
It would be interesting to see how much of the annual operating budget of a carrier goes to pilot compensation, executive compensation, MX compensation, etc.
I would love to see honest charts that have this information.

I'm talking about primary training and time building in the US. What are you talking about?

Minor league baseball is played with real balls and real bats in front of real fans.

CLT just changed your original statement to say what he believed to be a more correct statement.

I'll save them two days....pay more at the regional level and there is no longer a shortage.
I understand that many U.S.pilots, who are only thinking about U.S.flying still believe this. It is wrong, because the pilot shortage is worldwide.
I personally think minimum base pay of $14.5/month is pretty good for the-145, and $24.5 is really good for the small Airbus captains.
Ideas: AA/UAL/DAL guarantee pilot training loans and provide 100% flow through with number and date of hire at parent major when starting at the regional. Or, the majors hire high schools grads, just like UAL used to do...back then mins were a diploma and a PPL.
