At least now the pay has increased dramatically and one can actually afford to have a decent life in a major city as a first year regional FO, something a lof us never saw early in our careers.
The bonuses at the regionals are really only for the DEC's at this point, and those will likely be ending soon too. Most of the regional pay bonuses and bumps were temporary if you actually read the fine print. It won't take long for regional pay to come back down. It won't drop back to $23/hour like it was in 2012, but it will certainly be much lower than what it is currently.
But, are you saying that it is ok that your cowarkers at a major airline should go back to the regionals? Pretty bad thing to be saying.
