A 747 generates more money for the company than a RJ so a pilot can fly one leg or several legs on a smaller jet to get paid a similar amount of money.
I agree. Also, the greater responsibility involved in carrying more passengers greater distances is more reason why, "the bigger the plane, the bigger the pay". Our pay should start at scheduled sign in.
Experience wouldn't work because 1000 hours of straight and level airline flying does not even remote equate to 1000 hours of military fighter flying.
