So thats really 6-8 years of making barely enough money to support yourself, and/or family. Nowadays pilot pay is low regardless, due to the price of tickets. Atleast regionals are giving us a chance to build up and move on.
And a reason being that the regionals hire us low timers is because we're the ones that will do it for less....the ones that wanted MORE $$ for their jobs were the ones that arent there anymore (perhaps moved on to majors/corporate)...so dont be mad at us youngsters trying to get in the cockpit of an rj. It's in fact partly YOUR fault that we're eligible to fly the plane your wife and kids are on
