Check out AC Jazz pay rates and then we are getting more on target. Speaking of playing into management. If a regional CEO was reading this thread they would be patting themselves on their back on a job well done that pilots are happy with 30k.
There is a difference between saying I'm happy making 30K a year as a regional airline pilot, and I made 30K my first year. I don't like the pay and I hate the corporate bull**** that we have to deal with in this industry. I've always wanted to fly and I will continue doing it as long as I am healthy and as long as I can provide for my family and I'm happy. There are cons to this job and there are pros, in my case the pros outweigh the cons and so I am sticking with it.
