62 hours at $85 an hour or 85 hours at $62 an hour is the same take home. I guess the real question is what is more valuable 747 SIC or RJ PIC?

I am not aware of any pilots leaving K4 for a regional... well actually there was one.... and he quit the regional after OE and is now driving a truck.... frankly he was better suited to drive a truck

Why are you so offended and reactive to the truth? Seems like too many people are entitled to jobs they haven't earned.
