It doesn't matter how much you love flying, no one in the regionals loves flying so much that they are content putting up with this crap day in and day out. Every regional lifer I have talked to is stuck for one reason or another, generally unable to manage finances well enough to live on first year FO pay at a major, or too comfortable as a captain with seniority and decent schedules. Unless you have another source of income or are independently wealthy, the job ain't worth the pay. Every flying job I've had starts out fun, but becomes a job and a means to feed my family. Still beats working for a living, but if I don't get out of the regionals in a few years I'm going to b school and getting a real job.
