This career is luck and timing, and the only way to ensure the best possible outcome at any given time is to pick the best option for the present... not for 2-3-4 years down the road.

I'm not trying to start a "my regional is better than your regional" catastrophe, but I was hired with less than 1000/100... and second-year FO pay at my present employer is more than third-year 1900 Captain pay at Silver. As long as we continue to work for peanuts, they will continue to pay peanuts...
