Management at the majors just looks at what it will cost to run feed, and could care less how the regionals get their rates to a competitve level. It is only when you see a drop in productivity and safety that the majors step in and question costs.
The "1000 PIC" requirement is more to filter out applications than anything else. Most companies with that requirement hire with a lot more than 1000 PIC.
No offense, but I think we all need to look in the mirror a bit and take personal responsibility for the wages we have. After all, we took the job, and we knew the pay. That's why regional pilots are our own worst enemy. |
So what you're saying is, "blindly chasing what we think will get us to the majors while ignoring the pay and QOL we have in the process is the big mistake we make", right?
In that case, we agree.
