3k+ ATP, Types, turbines, 121, 135, 91K, Alaska. ...Former CP as well. CFI,IA, MEI...if it matters
EDIT: After spending 5 minutes thinking it over I take it all back. They need to restructure to pay me (and everyone else) based on our experience. After that it's just splitting hairs.

But, Leave the 'No LGA,JFK,EWR!'
Amen to that!!!
In my current job, I get to either fly Over that whole area, or Under it with a great view scootin' up the hudson low level. Bypassing those three is wonderful.

From: The low pay seat
1.) Describe your aviation experience (time, type, hours, etc..)
ATP w/ ERJ PIC Type
4,200 TT
1,800 Turbine SIC
Regional FO for 3.5 years
2.) What are you doing now? Does it pay well? How much if you are willing to share? Compare and Contrast your quality of life.
Desk job and check airman at a flight school and 135 PIC/instructor on light twins. Pays between $40-50k depending on how much I fly. Home almost every night, with just enough overnights to keep life interesting and give me some alone time away from home.
3.) What would it take to bring you back to the airlines?
$35-40k starting pay with a jump to $50k second year. I absolutely refuse to commute for a regional, but since I live in ORD that's not as much an issue.
