I made 26K being the guy and working for the airline Sleepy-san calls a disgrace in another thread. I don't complain because my company pays less that X or Y or Z airline. I am incensed that mine and all the other airlines pay so little to begin with. Someone is always going to be paying more and someone is always going to be paying less. The problem is that the company paying more is STILL not paying jack.

At the regional level it's easy to pay us more money, quit bidding so freaking low for contractd flying. Or in the case of Pinnacle, sign the pilot contract instead of incurring debt that's significantly more than the difference in pay for the LENGTH of the pilot contract to buy new planes (Q400) and another airline (Colgan). The money is there, the suits just don't wanna put it anywhere other than their pockets.
