If only there was some organization that could unite the pilot group and collectively bargain for you guys... I get it completely. We little regional guys have very little power. To be honest, even mainline labor really doesn't, thanks to the RLA. One bad recession and a bankruptcy, you're screwed. The market is far more powerful than we'll ever be. The fact is YOU don't get it. We're in one of the best labor markets for pilots in decades, and you guys vote in what you did. Grow up, stand up for what you're worth and secure some gains while you can. You'll be thankful you did. The rest of the industry will be too.

Are you quite certain you want to get into a living wage for ORD and SFO both of my bases and what my W2 was for 2017?
I’ve been tracking this stuff for ages when I was advocating for increased pay for the corporate flying I was doing.
SkyWest does not pay a living wage for ORD or SFO.

2nd year FO with 33k taxable income in 2017. I would say it’s livable to a point. For a single person yes. For a single income family not so much. This jobs schedules usually mean the spouse has to be a stay at home parent.

We did homestead near friends and family, in a town with plenty of commuting options.

Not saying you should. What you should have done was have interventions with anyone who even thought of voting yes.
