i would much rather fly with a jet trained "low-timer" than a 1500 hour CFI. the training is more tailored to airline flying. i would also rather fly with a 500 hour jet trained student than a 2000 hour single seat fighter pilot for obvious CRM reasons (hard to teach an old dog new tricks). that being said, decision making, maturity, and real world scenarios will come with time spent in that right seat.

it is what it is my friends. you can either try to do something about, which you most likely cant, or you can keep an open mind about it. bottom line is pay isnt going up at the regional level
