Be a CFI longer, fly part 135. Anything. I refuse to work for poor conditions. I worked my butt off to be a professional at what I do and refues to sell my soul for a position. I had over 300 applications out there and turned down many of them before I ended up where I am flight instructing. I wanted a job that paid me well for the hard work I put in and here I get that. I'll stay here till I find a job that offers me a good QOL. Now i'm not ignorant to the fact that a regional is going to suck no matter where you go for the first year... But when I go to one it's going to be to one that has the best pay/QOL and not to one just because they offered me the job. It might take a few time applying ect., but sooner or later I'll get there. All things in time.
