Once I get that the regional world has served its purpose for me, so trust me guys, if your smart enough to fly in the regional world your smart enough to get a job in the real world probably making four times the income
Spot on, but there in lies the problem. Everyone goes to a regional thinking they are going to get their time and move on. People trying to get enough time to move on. The airlines know it and the pilots know it. The majors pay the feeders bills, so as long as the majors are stacked with resumes and pilots it doesn't matter what happens at the regional level. The regionals are literally like pilot mills...
