This I agree with. Your last post saying working at a regional airline should be an internship was the part I had a problem with. It just sounded demeaning; like you were in agreement of the pay structure of short changing the lowly regional pilots because they aren't good enough.
There are countless regional pilots who are not only more than qualified for a mainline job, but are also great people with exceptional personalities. For some though, they haven't moved on either for personal reasons, or their application hasn't been magically selected from the pile.
I apologize if that isn't what you were insinuating, possibly it was my misunderstanding.

If I were a mainline manager I would be concerned that one of the lower paying regionals with fast upgrades, who are now starting to scrape for pilots, will put someone in the left seat who should not be there. Unfortunately as we know, sometimes changes in aviation are written in blood. I hope it doesn't come to that, but it might be what gets jr mainline pilots into the left seat of RJs on mainline property.

You guys are not going to solve the regional system. It serves a purpose, and will exist until either the purpose is no longer served, or until desperate lowering of standards to put meat in seats results in a few more colgans.
Mesa is allowed to exist for one purpose only...as a stalking horse to apply competitive pressure to everybody else.

With deliveries coming to an end I would say probably pretty lengthy. I know a guy in SFO that was a line holder after a month or two but I think those days are almost over.

For now those days are definitely over, but with the 100 new planes on rumor and San Diego base opening up...
