I disagree with xjetguy. I think the majors do look favorably upon going to a regional. It shows you are serious about staying in your profession despite a perceived lack of prestige. I did it after flying nothing but single seat fighter. It was a great learning experience for the 121 world. Thepaysucked, i was furloughed, and the airline went under(ACA). But that's life in the airlines. I have a top gun graduate in my squadron doing the same thing. He sees the longterm picture.
