Agreed. I would think that an entry level job would be something attainable right after earning your commercial ticket. I have worked for years under 91 to be eligible for a 121 job at a regional, to consider it an entry level position is laughable. Besides, moving from 4 passengers to 50, and taking a sizeable pay cut is also ridiculous. Good thing I didn't become a pilot to get rich...
This may be "entry level" in the 121 world, but certainly not as a pilot.
