Regional airlines are entry level jobs and employ entry level workers who should be making entry level wages. Regional pilots in this thread are like McDonalds burger flippers complaining that they are not paid and treated like an executive chef at a five star restaurant. GTF over yourselves.
Seriously? The job is easy relative to what? Repetition and focused professional training is what makes professionals professionals. We make the job look easy. Just because the surgeon who makes his 546th appendectomy look easy, doesn't mean that performing an appendectomy is easy. An airline pilot shooting his 546th ILS can probably do it in his sleep, but that does NOT make it "easy".
BTW, your attitude is management's wet dream, as they can make their case by quoting idiotic statements like yours in their continued attack on our profession.
