My background is 135, 91, and 91k. I have an ATP. 1 type rating and 5600 TT, 3500 ME, 1000 Turbine I have considered the regionals at three different points in my career. However, they never made sense for me. I even had an interview scheduled in 2010, but could not convince myself to even go, and I called and cancelled it. I have a hard time even considering the LCCs out there because of the pay cut that would be required. The regionals are not even on my radar. $50-60k to start and a pretty rapid progression to a livable pay scale would be required to even get me to consider the regionals, and I am not sure that would do it.
