There are plenty of instances in which a plumber should earn more that a regional FO. The line is somewhere between pilot mill SJS wonderboy FO and a senior FO......sometimes even a Captain.

Right now?
Flying with students and looking at the Florida sunrise as we fly up the Daytona shoreline.
Seeing my students grow, looking at their faces when they succeed, and help them when they fail.
Knowing that I earn practically nothing, but still love what I do

.
I am without boundaries

Two leg, 7.5 hours of pay on 9 hours of duty time, a real hourly wage, good work rules, with my retirement plan still intact, and being home with the wife and kids every night works pretty well for me....
Taking the family on short day trips in the C172 isn't bad either....
One is fun, the other is work... people need to stop trying to mix the two....

that they created a new sub-standard prevailing wage and called it regional...
