It's sad but true, I know people with roughly 1,500hrs that can't get a regional job currently or are at least having a very hard time. They are all young and have no wife/kids. The money is less important than the career progression and they would fly jets for you tomorrow even if you payed less than a day manager at the Golden arches.
Supply and demand wins again hopefully the scales rebalance.
