Skywest Regional Pay
Does Skywest have any incentives to make their pay competitive with The American Wholly Owned now that they are almost 1/2 of the highest paying regional per hour in year 1? I mean 47 vs 90 an hour is massive! One would imagine that eventually they would run out of pilots given the identical requirements to apply to Skywest as their competitors. Or can they continue to pay as low as they do forever?

I am sure that's the excuse they will give when or if a new contract is negotiated. But the market has spoken no? I want to like Skywest as one of the two west coast regional, but they pay so much less

SkyWest pays more than the other west coast regional (unless you were talking about Alaska being the other one)

If SkyWest goes to it's partners and says, "We have to pay our pilots more because your other regionals are paying more", they will understand and pay SkyWest more to offset the cost. You know how much fares would have to increase to double our pay? Less than $6 per ticket. AA decided they can make that increase no problem, and so can the others.
