These days you can't responsibly make a regional to major jump in your career unless you have a backup plan that allows for an additional source of income to wait out a furlough. |
Good points, but my overall point is that modern Regional pilots have ceased to be anything truly "Regional", and we deserve pay rates at comparable rates. Our short-sightedness as aviators have led to pay rates that are severely insufficient for the work we do.
