Don't mean to dampen things but getting that regional gig takes time, let alone going up against other pilots in a fairly small market. I'd plan 10 years CPL to that regional job, with instructing/charter jobs in between.

My first 10 years before that regional job I didn't earn above 40k. Whilst that was many years ago, have a look at awards now, not a lot has changed.
Thanks for that info, much appreciated! I'll have a look into it further
