It's a great place to start if your final goal is the fractionals, corporate or the military. If your final goal is the majors, you're only setting back your time frame and decreasing the odds that you'll ever achieve that by joining a regional. For new pilots who hope for the majors, the military will ALWAYS be the top choice. You'll be the best trained pilot among your peers, you'll be well paid and have the deep respect of having served the nation. Second choice would be a corporate gig, then a foreign direct FO entry airline, followed by non-sched freight. I did the corporate, then freight dog route.

I've explicitly stated that we major pilots CAUSED the problem. I've never said otherwise. I've only said that regional pilots are CONTINUING the problem by giving management their main tool to justify the continuation of our outsourcing problem.
