By the way, if you're so ****ed off about the airlines, why don't you get out and do something else?

I suggested he apply to the airlines. Just not regionals. Does that make me sound ****ed off?

There are other opportunities out there, it's not worth staying somewhere and hating your job. I've been there, and it's not fun.

I've only been a regional pilot for 20% of my life, so I've also been there too and know that other jobs suck. If the OP is deciding between leaving aviation altogether or going to a regional, I would say try the regional. But I didn't get that from his post.
I would not recommend anyone who is in a stable flying job, getting Turbine PIC, to leave for the regionals unless money is not a concern in their lives.

If money is a concern, I suggest a person in that position wait until a non-regional (read: major, legacy, LCC, startup, whatever you want to call it) airline job is available.

I believe my post conveyed those suggestions. If that makes me sound bitter and ****ed off, then maybe I just can't type very well.
