Magically RAH doesn't exist. Very nice find. I wonder if it takes into account work rules etc. I can't believe that ASA would be the most expensive.
Ah ok I found CHQ but still no RAH. I don't see how US Airways is less than DAL.

SKW: $127/hr
UAL: $278/hr
DAL: $258/hr
WOW mainline pilots are overpaid, how can they operate at those numbers? (note sarcasm)
What’s the average number of seats per a/c at the regionals? 50ish? (EMB 120, Saab, Dash, CRJ2/7/9, ERJ 135/40/45, EMB-170/75)
What’s the average number of seats per a/c at mainline? 180ish? (737, A320, 757, 767, 777, 747)
Now apply the numbers.
SKW: $127 / 50 = $2.54 per hour
UAL: $278 / 180 = $1.54 per hour
DAL: $258 / 180 = $1.43 per hour
Interesting isn't it? We at the regionals are underpaid but our cost per hour per seat is higher than mainlines. I know there’s more to it but I just wanted to bring those large mainline numbers into context. When mainline Mgmnt makes the claim that their pilots are overpaid I can't help but laugh.

"A lot of the first officers I know are almost angry, and some are even jealous of their friends who went into other fields and made big money right out of college," Fulks said.
