Absolutely right. At $19/hr, I made less than $100 that day.

Yup, and Shuttle (737-300) after that.

Sadly the entire USA is covered with small and medium sized markets that used to be mainline.

Just how did the US survive before RJ's?

Anyone remember that not too long ago "regional airlines" worked under FAR part 135 rules and didn't fly anything more than about 40 seats. How times change.
