Yes sir, best answer of this whole thread. People getting into politics, capitalism, socialism and all that irrrelevent stuff.... People fly for the regionals, and they do it for peanuts because is only
TEMPORARY.... The mentallity is "I'm only going to be there 2-3 years, so who cares what they pay me. I'll be at a major soon, I'll do it for free if I had to" This way of thinking is killing our profession... Now with more and more people getting stuck at the regionals, and the majors not being what they used to be, this question comes up more and more...
The regional pilots have little leverage, there are thoudsands of CFIs eager to fly a turbine powered aircraft, and they'll pay to do it because they have the same dream regional guys have...
