R2F, although I totally understand what you're saying, there are other options for the "(lower time pilots looking for that first gig after instructing)". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

There are plenty of 135 cargo and charter jobs out there. You just have to look and be willing to move. I got my first job as a King Air F/O with 880 hours and 5 multi. My starting salary was $30K. Then after about six months, I was trained in the Bravo and received a raise.

I'd be lying if I said I never thought about going to a regional, cause I have. But I'm sure glad I never did. I knew I was worth more than 19K/year and I wasn't going to settle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Just remember, there are options other than regionals. Lot's more! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
