The regionals starting pay sucks! But the rewards are high (well good) if you make it to the majors. Dr.'s don't graduate medical school debt free and certainly don't make huge salaries their first few years (but better than us). I am not saying a few hundred extra hours is going to change ALL of that..... But there is a huge difference between a 300 hour pilot and a 1500 hour pilot.
