Yes, that is the going rate for commuter pilots. Supply and demand, it is pretty simple-lots of pilots seeking fame and fortune as future airline pilots and lots of people demanding seats at 9 cents/mile. The Captain was a "second career" guy who "learned" to fly in his forties and the F/O a grad of a pilot mill who figured "pay your dues" and be a rich airline pilot someday.
What needs to happen is for some folks to say, "NO!, I won't fly for free!" Any bets on when that will happen?
