But remember, you are flying for a DL connection carrier owned by DL... So yeah... That's where you are. No offense, but look at the optics.

If you want to be a DL pilot for your career beyond the regionals, only 9E has you with a guaranteed interview. Off the street, by all accounts, is a harder endeavor. Yes, that's a pun. There are positives and negatives to any regional, but it's a leg up to know there is a interview in hand. 1 in the hand, 2 in the bush.
