On another note, yes maybe staying at 9E would have been better haha. I was west coast and applied for west coast regionals when I was low-time. Had I known what was up today I would have applied at Pinnacle/Mesaba/Compass because I could potentially be at mainline now. But I didn't have that crystal ball and now like you I'm competing with people that simply made a lucky regional choice.
This happens all the time in the flying industry...I myself have about a million woulda coulda shouldas...
I also don't know many premerger Pinnacle or Mesaba people counting themselves as lucky right now.
