What part of this do you disagree with? We do not want to wear rose color glasses all the time but it pays to be at least slightly positive.
Your outlook may not be as "rose colored" once you obtain employment from a regional airline. I remember my outlook before starting with my first airline, experience will change your views on the industry.
Get hired at a poor regional, work a year, and see how your attitude has changed. I started at a poor regional with the "plan" of getting my turbine time and getting out. I pretty much did that, however it is impossible to focus on "getting your time" while constantly being subjected to the tortures of what actually makes that airline a "poor" regional airline to begin with.
