The days of getting your time at a regional and moving on don't really exist anymore. Just look at the amount of hiring at the legacies for the last decade. It is your attitude towards this profession that has allowed the race to the bottom to continue. If you want to get stuck making poverty wages for the next great recession, then work for the bottom feeder with the fastest upgrade, then watch it turn into a decade. This attitude towards "just get your time" is very short sited.
