When I did a 2 plus year regional stint after the military, I worked in a CRJ2. A guy from my UPT class went to republic at the same time. In a 12 month period, while we were on second year pay, I made 18,000 more dollars than he did.. I find that pretty substantial. Stop fooling yourself by thinking all regionals are equal.

Pretty sure we both ate a sh--sandwich first year at majors.. Me at CAL and you at airways.. So stop ridiculing these regional guys who are working so hard to make it.
