Hi folks,
I'm doing a little research project on the history of restructuring in the airline industry. Perhaps some of you can help me out on a couple questions:
When and where were the first small/regional jets introduced in the U.S?
Were they introduced at stand-alone commuter carriers, mainline carriers, or initially at subsidiary prop and turboprop carriers?
After they were introduced, how quickly did they spread at competing carriers?
Did the lower tier wage derive from pay formulas about a/c size in pilot contract language or did it derive more from the history of where the small/regional jets were initially used (i.e., starting out at a lower wage commuter carrier).
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share.
In solidarity,
Airlineorphan
