Question
I'm new to the career of aviation and I've became very interested about it. I just have some questions pertaining to the career of avaition. What does it mean to fly regional? Is that like the beginner level for flying? What do you do when you fly regional? What are the next levels after regional and how long does it usually take to accomplish? When can you fly international?

Answer
Kevin
Flying regional means that route that served with that airlines are only local meaning regional routes. Sample Oregon-California, or similar routes. Those airplanes are not capable for longes trips. Intl routes are intercontinental flights, pilots are choosen based on experience and seniority numbers, those routes are the best payed.
