And yeah, regional pay is a joke at all levels. I'm approaching 4th year pay at my airline and am still only grossing in the mid $30s every year.
The SAP is first come first served so the most junior line holder has just as much ability to improve productivity as the most senior.
Inefficient trips end up broken up and flown by reserves.
