To everyone here saying we make more than others because we fly 50 seats and they fly 70 seats.. I hate to break it to you but this is a faulty logic. A regional pays a pilot to fill a seat on a jet based on experience of that pilot, not how many seats are behind him. If the qualifications are identical, hiring standards should be the same and pay should be similar between companies. A region hires an FO with 1500 hours regardless of what plane they are flying, that FO upgrades at 1000ish hours regardless of what plane they are flying. We are hired based on our hours and experience, everyone entering at a regional and upgrading now a days is at very similar experience ranges. There is no reason for huge pay differences.

It’s a pilots market right? Act like it.
