My husband is a graduate of RAA. He was hired by expressjet with 600/200, which is a great perk. However, he also has over 100 K in student loans (a far cry from the $40,000 they first quoted him). This amount includes a type rating in a CRJ.

As for getting married, I am 23, he is 22, and we were married about 6 months ago, prior to when he got the job. He seemed to think that the airline looked at him being married as a positive sign and a signal of stability. If you want to get married, I'm sure you can make it work, as we are doing. As long as your fiance understands that you will probably not be around that much, especially in the beginning, and she is okay with that, then you can make a marriage work. As for planning the wedding, I would not recommend trying to do that while you are working for a regional. I go to school in Florida, so moving to a hub is not an option for me (and I plan on practicing law in Florida when I'm done.) I imagine it would be alot easier if I moved to one of the hubs, but its not impossible for my husband to commute.

Good luck with your fiance and your job hunt!
