Less than you on a per-hour or total income basis?
That's a pretty bold post for somebody who
just two months ago said were only netting $1100/mo as an instructor and moved back home to live with mom & dad where rent & groceries were at no cost to you.
There aren't many flight instructors (especially part-timers) that gross more than regional FOs, especially those off probationary pay. If you're one of those, more power to you...but it looks like you make $900/week working a "day job" and instruct on the side.
But after 4 years of on/off instructing and now looking down your nose at regional FOs, where are you? How much twin and/or turbine time do you have? Are you employable/insurable for any job flying multi-turbine equipment?
All my "useless" RJ SIC time got me was instantly insurable as a captain on a business jet with less than 3000tt.
