I have left 13 years ago but not a day goes by that I wonder and wish to be back in the sky. Hardest part for me is my 4 kids aged 10-4 and being away to come back but when I left it was about the pay and lack of movement at that time in my regional (Chicago Express/ATA). Didn't have a family then. Just being curious and curious how much has changed. Thanks.

It's the same as before but now you make 40 to 60k first year. Those shiny looking RJs from 13 years ago are old and broken. Still the hotels by the runway and low appreciation by everyone for what you do. We do those first flights of the trip to get the addiction out of the way and then all we wonder is how we're going to make it to the go home leg. You're not missing much.
