Let's have a look at the bigger picture.

Everything that is happening today at the regional level is coming to the majors too. Collectively since you are willing to accept poor treatment now, you are going to have to accept it later as well. They already know you will.

You will never have what the current crop of major airline pilots have. They never had to accept the sub standard treatment many regional pilot groups are ok with today. They never had to chase a carrot like you do. Heck, many of them never even worked at a regional. They left the military and were welcomed to the club with open arms.

You are not a member of the club. If you are willing to chase the carrot now, you are going to have to chase it forever.
