Endeavor is paying $50/hour to new hire FO's and $122/hour to topped out Captains to fly similar equipment. Apparently it's still economical for Delta, who incidentally has pay scales for CRJ900's starting at $86 and going up to $170. But even if the regionals had to start offering that much or more, Delta would still try to keep the flying at the regionals. Know why? Because after putting in your 2-15 years at a regional, you have to start all over at the bottom of the pay scale at mainline. If they brought RJ's in-house, you'd be moving up their longevity scale the entire time you're flying one. So no, United isn't about to start flying 175's in-house, even though it'd be better for all of us.

It looks like our flying is reduced further in April when looking at the ALPA website. MAGPBS would need to comment further.
