You are all ridiculous. Being a pilot isn't some special skill, there are millions of us. We don't create anything, or improve the world, we guide a hunk of metal from point A to B. If you are farther along in your career, it's not because you are better, it's because you got into this at a particular time and those above you either. Moved on, quit, or died. This isn't a field where promotions are based on merit, but one where you WILL move up if you put up with enough crap and don't quit.

There may be some F-22, U-2, and FA-18 pilots that disagree with this.
I highly doubt it is a linear relationship. Who did the research for this graph?

So shyguy,
Since you are posting in the "regionals" forum, are you still a regional pilot (on the "super -RJ") or should we feel privelaged to be graced with your presence as you are "mentoring" us?

The point still stands, Comair guys' skill had nothing to do with that place surviving or folding. If your airline goes under (which 9e may very well do before I ever see the left seat), you get to start all over again. Your skills have nothing to do with moving up, it's all just hanging around long enough.

CRJ-700/900 are 2-2 in coach as are the E170/175s. The DC-9 was 2-3 in coach and so are the Mad Dogs. So, those are bigger and therefore better pilots than the RJs.
This is a civilian chart, being that this is the regional section of Airline Pilot forums.
It is a linear relationship. I went from flying a 50 seat RJ to a 149 seat Airbus, and my skills have gone up 3 times over. 50 seats x 3 = 150, so yes the linear relationship works. I am now 3 times better than I was when flying the RJ.
