Fellas, I echo some of the advice given. If you can get into a guard or reserve unit, do so. Regional pay does suck and if was an operator when I was on AD (proud Strike Crew Chief for 13 years), I would've avoided coming to the regionals. However, I don't have any regrets because this was the only way to build my time and in the past 6 years, I've done a lot of flying. A lot of burn-out flying at that.
The majors aren't calling me either, but I haven't gotten any "TBNT" letters from anyone either so I'm still networking and holding on. Keep doing the same, you'll get a call soon enough. I bet United will call you soon!
