i think there is pilot shortage in the US.
everybody blame the regional for low pay scale,but i never
hear people tell any other option.
American eagle,Skywest,ect.
let you fly CRJ/ERJ only whit little flight experince.
And then move up to the majors.
be a flight instructor,be a regional pilot is the first step
of a long flight career is a starting point not a finish piont
and as such they don't pay very well.
if people don't want to a be a pilot because there is no money
at the begining of their career,i'm glad
