Thanks for that one!

The thing that isn't realized by these LTPs (Low time pilots) is that the airlines are getting away with not paying real wages to these guys/gals for years to come. If the rules changed to prevent this low experience level these pilots would economically benefit for years as a regional FO just from a year or so of being an instructor or building time some otherway.

Getting that RJ job at 300 hours is shortsighted overall by pilots; managment knows what they are doing and we have our blinders on.

Good luck making real money in this profession in the future! I was looking at NWA pay scales and a 747-400 captain makes 15 bucks an hour less than in 1991 when I started looking into flying.
