Others I know who went to GoJet or Republic are in the exact same position, just had a lot worse quality of life because they started over. Pay wasn't that much of a difference usually better for me. Quality of life is huge though especially if you have a family.

There have constantly been flavors of the week in this industry. Republic, Mesa, Mesa again, Colgan, etc. It's just like a gold rush if you are leaving to join in after the announcement of discovery of gold than you are too late! Regionals are the same way. The place to be today isn't going to be the place to be tomorrow.

You on the other hand were asking all kinds of questions about how to get hired on at a regional. So who is youngster?

The senior FOs at PSA now will be the only ones who truly benefit from the TA. Guys hired now won't see much benefit considering the movement coming to the entire industry because of mainline retirements.
