Bendo's got a point. The position presented isn't of someone who has just waltzed out of training and expects the golden check. To be a regional FO requires quite a bit of experience, typically not your first job. Its not too much to expect for it to pay enough to live.

More money will need to be offered to lure experience away from the airline path.
