The only thing you seem to be good at is making false assumptions.
Is 27 that old?
Right? WRONG!
Pay over seas is high because there is a higher demand for pilots over there right now.
1st year pay at the regionals is low because there is an adequate supply of pilots here right now.
Once the supply of qualified pilots here diminishes, which it will, you will see higher pay and / or bonuses being offered to attract more applicants.
Go ask your buddies at the bingo hall to explain the laws of supply and demand to you, then you might stop crying on the AARP forums about the pice of gas!
