Yes, this. By trying to "stick it to the regionals" all you find is that you are behind (practcally) everyone else who went to the regionals ASAP- including the children of mainline pilots. Can someone be choosy about a particular company? Sure! But if you are implying any pilot just starts their first, second or even third job, post commercial check ride making fair wages, I have not seen this.
