I ended up declining the interviews and as luck would have it, was called by my current 121 employer shortly thereafter. If you really need the hours then I don't think spending some time at a regional could hurt. However, you'll have to ask yourself if a major reduction in your quality of life for shockingly low pay is worth it. Just my $.02 and as always YMMV.
