I suspect that this does not come as a surprise to most on this forum, but it is the first time I have seen it in black white.
The U.S. Airline Pilots Who Barely Make Minimum Wage - Skift (http://skift.com/2013/08/28/the-u-s-airline-pilots-who-barely-make-minimum-wage/)
"Most (Pilots) view their service on regional airlines as an apprenticeship or stepping-stone to a big payday at mainline airlines. The exception is the top ranks of the regional airline pilots, where captains with 15 years’ experience can earn $100,000 to $110,000 per year, Darby says.
Co-pilots may earn less than $20 per hour flying turboprops for Mesa Airlines (http://www.mesa-air.com/pilots.asp), and pilots with 10 years’ experience make a little more than $73 per hour, on average, at U.S. regional airlines.
At the top ranks, a Republic Airlines (http://republicairlines.com) pilot could make $119 per hour, and the maximum at the upper tier of regional pilots is just more than $100, on average.
Here are some of the hourly wage ranges for co-pilots and pilots, with varying levels of flying experience, at regional airlines:"
It goes on to give a table of rates of pay that might be expected taking into account experience and airline.
