You do the same thing as the other guy. There's nothing entry level about it.
I read most of the posts and you got typical idiotic pilot talking points. I will tell you why. From the guy that is shaking in his boots about to start ioe in a crappy 18 year old broken RJ to the rich fat 777 CA at Delta playing with his rancher mustache, pilots are pretty stupid. The reason why is they are addicted to the flying and have no other skills. Yes they have no real useful skills in the real world so they are very afraid and protective of the job. This the reason why management wins every single solitary time. It's pretty easy to control the crack addict by dangling or taking away their crack. No alpa or other union can match this force.

Now is THE time for everyone to quit their crappy regional. Just do it!

Speak for yourself, and maybe some riddle grads. The majority of civilian pilots I fly with have marketable skills other than flying, and essentially all military pilots of today's era are marketable (they have special job fairs for ex military officers).

Now a six figure job with 18 days off per month....That's hard to find outside of airlines regardless of who you are.

Don't know about that. A degree in a field from 10-15-20 years ago where an individual has never worked a day in their lives because they have been out flying airplanes? I'd love to be a fly on the wall at that job interview.

Yea sure 18 days off. And 6 figures even better! How many years of abuse did you have to put up to get that though? Not to mention you're still underpaid. Being a pilot is not even close to high paying positions any more. Even a nurse practitioner at cvs makes more than you. My original point was management can easily control the pilots due to their addiction which is still very true.
