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.
