I think you get my point. Try to be open minded about what you can do. Have you even considered getting up to 135 mins and flying pax, or cargo? You should seriously consider all other available options besides the regionals. There are a few cargo operators out there that pay better than the regionals, plus get almost every weekend off, and holidays, and also some good international experience that most regional guys never see or won't for many years! If keep an open mind about your options, it might put you much further ahead on your career than just going to some regional. Good luck!
