I have no issue with what anything you've said with the exception of the pilots don't work hard. You're confusing not working hard with not doing hard work.
Mason: hard work
Construction: hard work
Deck Hand: hard work
Ditch Digger: hard work
CEO: works hard
Pilot: works hard
Accountant: works hard
You get the point. As I have said in a previous thread I have done hard work and I have worked hard. I'd much rather work hard.
Oh, I fly a Brasillia. I am not sure that qualifies as a "state of the art regional flying machine"
Take care my brother.

Duty Rig
Paging all retards....... Retards listen up.
A 2:1 duty rig gives you 1 hour of pay for every 2 hours on duty. Much higher than min wage.
A 3.5-4:1 trip rig divide TAFB by 3.5 of 4. That = pay hours.
Solves a lot of problems. What most pilots don't get in this thread are that airlines would gladly OK this pay structure. And they'd take soft pay away to accomplish this, or just ding your hourly rate by 20% to give you min wage.
PILOTS ARE NOT MIN WAGE EMPLOYEES.
Same thing. Some morons are OK with working for a company with no cancellation pay. Others are OK working for a place that pays 50% of your pay to deadhead.
Wake up fellas. It is not that difficult. For a group of guys who claim to be "smart" many seem to be struggling with a basic concept here.
I don't want anyone's head to explode so maybe in another thread we can cover 401k matching.
Goodnight.

I see your point on minimum wage though. An increase may be better.
