It would take $40K, Home Based, trip and duty rigs, good health care. Until then they can park the planes.
sorry had to keep thread alive

Joking, or you mean $140k? Some regional captains already make twice that, I hear it is possible to break six figures if you try at some of the better companies (XJT for example). From what I can tell, being a regional lifer is not a low paying job necessarily, it just sucks not having a future at a major without random luck playing the main role in getting the job.
