So, as soon as you get that regional Capt raise consider throwing all the additional scratch towards:

- paying down credit cards
- paying down school loans
- paying down car loans OR saving for a better vehicle and not putting zero down
- paying down your current mortgage, HELOC, etc, instead of getting a bigger one OR staying in your current digs and saving for a large down payment.
- etc, etc.

Or, stay where you're at so the majors just hires regional FOs. Won't bother me a bit.
