You just compared the SkyWest 50-seat rates to our 37-seat rates, then compared our 50-seat rates to your 70/90-seat rates. Not to mention that our 37-seat payscale is only for when you are actually flying the ERJ-135, so even on the 37-seat payscale you will get 50-seat pay each time you fly the ERJ-145. We have 30 ERJ-135s out of 274 airframes.
I'm not exactly pro-ALPA. But I am definitely pro-career protection and quality of life improvements. Why be happy making $70,000 with 12 days off when you know you are worth so much more? I want time off to spend with my family, and money to support them comfortably. This career is not the end-all, be-all of my life like it is for some people.
