A DC9 is quite a bit different than an ancient twin. There's nothing wrong with a small amount of SJS as long as major career decisions aren't based on it completely. Any pilot that claims they could care less about flying some state of the art hunk of airplane is probably not being completely honest. As a practical person as far as a job goes I just want to be paid what I'm worth and not be a stranger to my family. If that means flying a freaking ultralight for a living then sign me up! But as a pilot and lover of airplanes I have to admit, flying a jet is pretty cool. But I'd leave it tomorrow for the right job.

And everyone rags on regional A or regional B but at the end of the day all regionals have their problems. They all have a limitation on just how good of a contract they can have with the pilot group to their own demise.

Regionals due to their contract carrier nature can't get too expensive to run otherwise they get priced out by another and the race to the bottom continues.
