I left commuter flying 10 years ago when I went for a ground job
(dispatcher) for financial survival. Are commuter pilots still making
next to nothing today still? Even with those nice new CRJ's ??

I have a friend who is a captain (can't remember which airline right
now) and is making somewhere around $40,000, which isn't too bad. The
other guys I know who are flying right seat in turboprops are making
$17,000-$22,000. I don't know if that's next to nothing, but I know I'd
have to give up a lot on that kind of money.
