I don't agree with it, but reality often fails to reflect my ideal vision of the world.

We can play the "no job is secure" game all day. The POTUS' job isn't secure.. That said, I think obviously there are places in the aviation world that are more secure than a regional. I understand why we as pilots might choose to work for a regional - i'm right there with y'all. But my response regarding job security was to a prospective applicant asking about upgrade times. Sometimes people have families depending on the choices they make, and perhaps giving a person a full-dose of "perspective" instead of just the kool-aid might help him better appreciate the risks involved with the decision that he is about to make.
