And I suspect if it's the only option, a CR7 or CR9 would work there too. They probably don't have enough of them, but they will soon!

I work for Delta Air Lines and collect a profit sharing check based on their ability to generate a RASM premium fleet wide. If we had those airplanes, the RASM premium would be lower, and so would my profit sharing check. I'm talking about me here. Working under the failed policies of the last 2 decades may cause your mileage to vary.
I can't do much to Lee with 50,000 mute pilots behind me, now can I? But he still works for me. And he'll do as he pleases until he causes 50,000 people to revolt. Which won't ever happen. So it's a mute point for debate, really.

Why does it pay more?
Ya'll getting tired of watching (bigger)high paying airplanes go away and (smaller) lower ones coming on board yet?
I hope we pay the 777/747 $400/hour.
Remember, there are 500 starving captains out there that deserve that pay, because we all know how much harder it is to fly a big airplane than it is to fly a small one.

Probably the only one though.

For example, in 2009 2010 and 2011 the maximum contribution was $16,500.
Then it went up to $17,000 for 2012 and up to $17,500 in 2013.
So if you just put an increase of $200-300 per year in your chart it would probably be reasonable. After all your spreadsheet is just going to be a prediction anyway.

They were good for me for 6 years until I got my 1000 TPIC. They're doing well enough now. I couldn't walk through the door here with expectations of being a widebody CA in 5 years. What expectations I did have - i.e. working for a financially viable and sustainable carrier - have been consistently upheld. What's so wrong with that?
May I remind you it was your generation that let them go. It'll be my generation that gets them back.

The profit sharing as a part of pay is a pitance compared to where compensation should be. You bought off on the "total compensation" angle management, and these guys sold. Ask FTB how the flight bennies "total compensation" part of things is working out lately. The outsourcing of Delta pilot captain jobs (where you actually get the kind of raise that makes a difference) is the type of buy off only undiscerning minds generally fall for. Sorry.

The routes I see the CR2 flying where it makes a lot of money are things like ATL-SDF or ATL-ROA or ATL-PHF, where it's the only option. If you say SDF-ATL-LAX or ROA-LAX or PHF-LAX, the ticket prices stay the same or even go down.
And I suspect if it's the only option, a CR7 or CR9 would work there too. They probably don't have enough of them, but they will soon!

I've flown both, the 900 is far and away a better airplane in every way it could be. Comfort, workload, no walk of shame, proper heating and cooling, weather and route planning, never have to mess with w&b, it's endless. Most importantly a 900 competes directly with mainline aircraft where the 200 falls way short.
