[QUOTE="Ford>Chevy, post: 15843394, member: 166567"] Commercial Multi Pilot here (Not Airline Pilot, Working on Flight Instructor now). Industry is needing pilots bad right now. Pay is going up but you need to see through the bonuses and really need to make sure you read contracts. Reality is you can go to any regional, build your time, then jump ship to a major. Captain upgrade in the regionals is averaging 18-24 months from people I talk to. Take an intro flight at your local flight school and try things out to see how you like it. It's a great time to get in on the fun. I forget which seat (FO/Captain) but my cousin is at Spirit right now flying the A320 and is based out of Detroit (The Dirty D) as the pilots call it. He's loving it. TLDR; get an intro flight, and then if you like it, train as much as you can towards commercial, get your flight instructor (CFI) and grind away towards 1000 hours. That's the way most people do it nowadays if you're not in the military (so I've heard) As an aside OP, the pay at the airlines is all based on seniority, which often resets when you switch aircraft (CRJ to 737 for example), switch seats (FO to Captain, and vice versa), and or switch companies.
