All it takes to get in the regional seat is a high school diploma and a few hundred hours of flight time. If you don't like it don't take the job but quite crying about it. Wait, I forgot they are they entitled generation.
$40k is still underpaid. I'm actually on 6th year rj fo pay...and it is still less than 40k, not by much but still less. I find it stupid how all the mainline pilots come on the regional threads and say things like "quit crying, leave of you don't like it". You're not the one having to do these jobs. If you big bad mainline pilots would stop giving away your scope, and flying till 65, we would not be having this conversation.
