It doesn't always stop at the regionals. try living in mom's basement eating lasagna with a wife and two kids after being furloughed from a major. Hell i'm earning that $23k/year on unemployment, why go to work to make that.

I would say you're correct in your position. The fact is, regardless of one's viewpoint or perception on their union contract, if you're flying commercially making $44.00/hr, it's 100% totally crap money. Who cares how good your contract is versus another crappy regional. It's like saying, "they get punched in the face twice a day. We only get punched once, so we have it pretty good around here."

I graduated college last May of 2010, and over the last few summers while in College got my licenses from a part 61 guy at my local airport. Cost me about 42k from start to finish, which I got from my Grandpas trust fund. I got a few flying gigs from people my instructor knew starting mid May of this year, I had about 300 hours, I now have 910 TTL, and about 130 ME. I have interviews coming up with AWAC, Eagle, ASA, Commutair, and Great Lakes. I am 22, any advice?
