lol the joke is actually on you guys. Yes, I chose to watch my kids grow up and be around for my family because that is the most important thing to me, not this pathetic career. Its pretty nice not having done an overnight in many years while making around 120K. And guess what, if we get replaced by another regional, then I'll....dare I say it......go do something else. I made the choice many years ago that I'd rather take my chances and be there for my family rather than go to CAL and do 5 days to Hawaii and be lucky to be home 1 or 2 nights a week.....all to say I fly a 737 or 757 or w/e. Those of you guys that are single and live for only yourselves, right now going to do that Intl flying seems pretty great.....but talk to me in 5 or 10 years when you have a wife and a few little ones at home that don't understand why daddy can't make that soccer game or why all the other dads are at the daddy/daughter dance but not theirs. Talk to me when you kids start hysterically crying as soon as they see you pull your uniform out. Trust me, your wife and kids will be really impressed with that 7-4 you're flying when you're missing 75%+ of all the important things in their lives. Those regional lifers lol, man they need to have their head examined.
