I'm probably falling pray to the "shiny jet syndrome" that so many people talk about though...
Example A why the regionals will always pay 25K a year. I would suggest being a high school student while you still can. Enjoy your youth and stop making airline excel spreadsheets. One day your gonna wake up and be 35 years old and wonder why you ever got into this miserable career.
Be a kid for a while. Chase girls and go to parties. You'll thank me for this advice in 15 years.
