Bottom line is this, every regional sucks, some suck more than others! You need to decide what is important to you. For "most" guys it all comes down to QOL, Bases and work rules and that is the reason they chose that particular airline. Just like you, everyone wants to "get in and get out", but guess what? It is a lot easier said than done. Also keep in mind, that bases can open/close in a heartbeat, more so on the regional level. Upgrade time can fluctuate big time! And what holds true today, might not be valid tomorrow. I also just wanted to get in and get out, and now, almost 7 yrs later still right seat at my second regional airline, not by choice. But at least I'm not scraping for food stamps every month, get paid when my flight cancels, and have some control over my QOL, but I'm not flying a brand new E175 with power outlets with big growth coming my way. What's important to me is being able to feed myself and my family and a good QOL without having to ***** myself out for new jets and the possibility of a quick upgrade.
