When I was 20 years old I would have jumped at the chance to fly for a regional. However times were very different, I had to work for years as a CFI then air taxi in several states for many years more before I was competitive for a regional. When I did finally get on at a regional I was the lowest time guy in class with 3800 hours total and 1400 multi-engine.

The sacrifices I made along the way are what solidified my expectations. If I was a 20 year old 300 hour new hire at a regional I would have hardly invested anything. Easy come easy go I guess. Who cares about anything when the job has no value to the people who hired on with nothing?

The job is meaningless to someone who acquired easy success at such a young age. Why expect to get paid too?


I sacrifised a lot and expect a lot.
