[Embraer]

saw that list of things a few years ago.

as for the money and quality of life thing, we're going through monumental changes in the industry as we speak. ...and it's all going down hill.

the whole structure of the industry is changing. bigger and bigger airplanes for less and less money to the flight crews. legacy carriers are switching focus to international routes, and leaving the domestic ops to airlines such as Frontier, Southwest, etc. Aging aircraft fleets are leaving a ton of airframes to be virtually useless. the market for 100-140 seat jets will be exploding (built by canadier or embraer).

it used to be that a regional pilot was flying a 19 pax Jetstream 31 for $23 an hour. Now they're flying 100 seat Embraer 190's for $23.

the days of being an airline pilot and living "the lifestyle" are over....

edit: for you non-aviation guys, remember....pilots can only "work" 1000 hours per year, but they're only paid per flight hour. We might work at 15 hour day, but get paid (credited) for 4.3 hours. After 1000 hours, you time out for the year.
