I am an American - working as a regional FO in the States, flying the EMB-145 (at a 'respected' 'Regional' carrier).
Let me tell you guys in here that are looking to go to a US regional airline and see statements like this... There are NO respected regional airlines in the US.
Regional pilots in the US seem to think if they make 2$ USD more then another regional airline they are at a "respected" regional airline... When any airline pays any pilot less then 30K USD you are not being respected, you are being exploited.
