Thanks for the input and I hear you. I promise you, I do. Two of the guys I currently fly with are XJET and AE refugees, and I've got several friends who are still at regionals. I'm well aware of QOL and the financial issues. I've got my own personal reasons for still wanting to take a shot at it, and my current career has been such that we can weather the pay differences if I shift gears. I can never say that I went into this blind, but I also view it as a means to an end.
