Most of us don't have a choice if we expect to have a career at all.

You stay with your Union regional until you can make the jump to a Union carrier. Your survival isn't in question. By going to a B6, VX or Skybus POS airline, you're looking for a quick upgrade and some narrow body flight time.
Go to a cargo operator. Go overseas. Get a second job to make ends meet. When I started at my airline we had a 5 year B scale. I flew for the Reserves to pay my bills. I averaged a day and a half off a month.
But, I didn't go to a non-Union scumbag airline that was undercutting Union contract. That's because I knew to do so was to stab the profession in the back.
If you do that, you'd better pray there isn't someone like me sitting on your interview board. Because you'll get shown the door lickety split.
