Don't use first year pay as an excuse not to come over. Too many people have fallen for that trap and now they have 10-15+ years at a regional.
I've been at UCAL for 5 years and it is by far superior to a regional.
First 3 years at CURRENT rates were not the most fun but I'm now making more money than I was at the regional I was at.
With that said, we need drastic improvements but please look long term.
