I wonder why the FAA wants professionalism in the cockpit??

Then, an entry-level regional job will only be available to a very select few.

The attitude that a regional F/O is an "entry level job" is why there are people willing to fly 100 seat planes for 37 bucks an hour tops.

I spent $45K on flight training at the local flight school.

That same flight school paid me $70K in wages over the 3 years I was there.

No debt, but an 'aviation career' is an amazingly stupid investment of $45 (or 60, or 100) thousand dollars.

That video made my eyes bleed... For the 1:35 I could endure watching it. Well, I don't have to go to work now so thanks for posting!

I spent about 20K in the mid-90's for all the ratings through MEI.

Went to a lcal school, and studied hard, never wasted a lesson.

And the previous poster is correct, regional FO should not be considered entry level.
