So would you even recommend someone start training now to be a pilot seeing as how they will possibly be stuck at a regional for years or forever. Is it possible to make over 100k a year as a regional captain? Personally I’d love to join Envoy flow or not one day just because they are based in my backyard with me living in SPS. My current job pays around 80k a year, but I’d hate to leave a sure thing for all the negativity I hear on here. Even though my job sucks working on aircraft, I’d much rather be flying them one day and since I’m over the age limit for the Guard at 37 and other circumstances that knock me out for that position I’d love to be an airline pilot since planes are in my blood.
