NOT true. As mentioned, the job of a regional pilot is "better" then before. But "way more" is a bit of a stretch. Ask an AWAC pilot if it's "way more", probably not. If COMAIR was still around, it wouldn't be "way more", etc.
I disagree. It is way more. 15 years ago there were very few $40K 3rd year FO's and $100K Captains. Today that is the norm.
