Yep, the crazy thing is that being a copilot in a regional airline isn't even an entry level job. In the US, you have to somehow manage to finance your pilot licenses AND 1500 hours of flying, before you can even apply to airlines. And even if you make it that far into this career, being a copilot in a regional airlines sucks. It's not just bad pay, but also really bad schedules. Long days with short turnarounds in-between flights. Many young copilots even have an obscenely long commute to their first flight and back home after their last one. All for the hope of being picked up by one of the major airlines.
