I put a lot of thought into this, but I think it is unfair to ask an individual pilot to fall on his sword for the collective whole of the regional industry. These choices I have made and many others will influence the time we spend here vs a major. That's hundreds of thousands of dollars in earning potential, QOL, seniority at a major, etc.
So I ask, how can you ask an individual to give all that up, just to stay at a stagnant regional for years in the right seat so you can feel better?
