From your first post I quoted it was pretty clear that you were saying hat regional pilots and doctors had similar paths:
I am comparing the 121 profession in general, under the assumption that MOST people want to go towards the big iron. Sorry for the confusion.

Where is Cardiomd user when you need him (her?) for specifics
I hope he can chime in to give specifics for longest residency; pay; and what you start at if you get canned/released from your practice?
I'm not trying to bicker, I'm just trying to prove a point to the aspiring pilots that it isn't what it is cracked up to be. The recruiting at many flight schools flash only the big paychecks/QOL at most majors. With premenition of a MASSIVE pilot shortage. I only wish all the 13+ year captains in the regionals with intentions of moving on and individuals with multiple furloughs in the regionals, could make a public announcement video to the public.
USMC - I respect your opinions/experience and what you do for the rest of us
