This mindset is what keeps pay and QOL low for regional pilots. (Yes, it is still too low)
Internship? Give me a break. There are plenty of pilots at regionals with more hours, experience, and knowledge than some guys at the majors.
Regional and mainline pilots fly in and out of the same airports and do the same work.
Stop pretending that regional pilots should be worth any less, that's what management is paid for. We're all aviation professionals with the same responsibilities.
