That depends on how you look at it. I rather look at the glass half full....
You should see it as when you start on reserve, not when you start training. Some regionals, like Skywest, only give you a 65 hour min guarantee during training.
So in essence, if you make Day 1 on reserve your 1st day of actual "line pay", you'll actually end up making way more than 40k, cause you'll have 3.5 months of Year 2 mixed in there.
Whatever they pay you during regional airline new hire training is a joke, it's not even enough to cover food while you're away!
