The regionals have been growing domestically while mainline continues to shrink. The best regionals are the ones that have payscales you can live on and retire on because you may be there much longer than you planned. Oh wait, I forgot the good ones have been gutted while competing with the lowest bidders.
Good luck finding a good regional these days.

I consider it very likely that many of us with just a few years in the industry right now may never work for a major. And if we do, we'll be 50 years old before we can transition over.
Same number (or growing) of regional pilots + shrinking majors = settle in and hope you picked a regional with a decent pay scale and contract.

That is a lesson they should be pounding into people's heads during flight training.

Once you commit the time and money to this career choice it's a little late to ask what the pay is.

Don't they have "selecting the best regional for a job 101" at Riddle and UND. Perhaps there should be a mandated course that covers airline pay and benefits at regionals in the curriculum. Better yet add questions about regional pay and benefits to the FAA commercial pilot written test.

These courses are offered only after you master ' Dealing with other people's unhealthy School-Bashing Issues ' .....perhaps a co-requisite is ' This school promised a lot more than it delivered ' and you might think of reading into George Orwells' 1984 to get an idea of what we're getting ALL over ourselves into haha
I have read 1984 several times, we are probably much closer than most people realize.
