If the regionals paid every pilot $500k a year do you think they would have substantially more pilots applying over time or would that make the shortage worse in your mind?
You fail to comprehend that regional pay is not the problem. Training costs, and the time between training and regional entry is the problem. Moving regional pay to $500k/yr still doesn't fix that. This has been explained multiple times.
