Your point being? Have you really any idea how bad pay and conditions are currently for civ copilots? For sure, pilots with legacy airlines or on long term contracts are still doing ok - but you won't get a new entry job anywhere near those figures. If you banged out of the FJ fleet now, with say about 2000 hours, you would have to invest a fair wack to get civ basic qualifications, then you would have to either buy a type-rating or at least accept a long term bond on slave wages while repaying the "investment" the operator has made with you.
