To the OP, thanks for taking the time to help other pilots make an informed decision. I'm sure adding more airlines would help even further. Maybe add a few disclaimers in there, though!
To Flaps15, $18k is pitiful. But even moreso when you are on your fourth airline due to furloughs, bankruptcies and bad luck!!! So many people miss the point that regionals aren't just where new hire CFI's go. Half of most classes are 30 something year olds hating life. Keep that in mind.
