3) The truth can be harsh sometimes. You regional guys should be used to that by now.

You do realize that "regional guys" also includes captains right? All of whom make between 70-100k. What are you pulling down these days big time cfi?

any jet operator is running an upgrade time of about 6 years now. Gojets excluded. No jet operator pays less then 72/hr to sixth year CA. Even at min guarantee of 72 hours thats 62200/year. Thats MIN guarantee not including per diem.
