Facts only, please.
Don't know the answer to that. But even if it was 100% regional and 0% military due to flow agreements, there's no way majors can hire all the regional guys. Thus my thesis that there are many more lifers at regionals than the regional pilots think.

I don't retract it at all. The gamble worked out for you, but it will not for most. You got your experience by damaging the majors and the pilot profession. I know it sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

I dare say that most regional folks couldn't "boast" of wages anywhere near that for their first three years. Hard to believe anyone could actually boast about being an airline pilot and making 60K.
