Money is nice, but it shouldn't be the main factor determining what airline you want to work for. Every regional airline pays sucks, so why does it matter? You should enjoy flying, since not everyone can do it. Ever see the regional pay on YouTube. There are hardly any company that pays over $20,000 there first year. Horizon makes $27K there first year, but they have a long upgrade. Gojet makes $20k and may have a fast upgrade time. You're not going to be making $50k your first year. As a FO I'm sure you could understand that. Loving your job should come first and everything else second.
