Most regional pilots are flying less advanced acft under far more grueling schedules with a fraction of the work rules of a mainline pilot......All that for maybe 50% of the pay.
The "regional" acft today are the mainline acft of yesterday DC9-10, fokker etc etc. Many regionals are flying larger acft than mainline did in the 70s/80s/90s.
The major/minor league reference absolutely is NOT a good one to use. You don't get to a major because you are a "good pilot."
I'm sure Marvin wanted to get on with a major.
This is how the system is supposed to work. You start out entry level working you tail off gaining experience. If you're good enough, you make it to the bigs.
Oh really? Guess that I'm just a nice guy then!
