I can't help but wonder why on APC a question is asked and answered after the first two replies, then at least one hundred more replies of, either the same answers, or nothing to do with the original question.

I think the moderators would do good to close the thread instead of letting everybody pile on regional airlines that are so called lowering the bar for the rest of us.

Every regional airline pilot, including myself, that has taken a regional job in the last eight years is responsible for lowering the bar.

If you refused to work for less than twenty five thousand a year, than the regionals would have had no pilots to fly their aircraft.

You could've continued to flight instruct or taken a job flying a navajo and would have helped all of us.

Myself included.
