While you were learning to fly there were literally thousands of guys stuck at regionals with thousands of hours of pic time. Don't go somewhere for a quick upgrade right now. Go somewhere that you can enjoy life a little. No pay, no qol, no time off... You're in your 20's and your wasting it chasing a career that is a known heartbreaker. There is more to life then airplanes.
Tell that to the 3 guys who were just hired on at Alaska! Or the guys who were hired at Sprit, Allegient, Kallitta, Southern and so on! Most of them have been here maybe 4 years (some even less) and are moving on! You're lucky to upgrade at 4 years at your own regional! While it might not be United or Delta, at least it's getting out of the regional industry! So I call BS on your 7000TT crap!
