From your previous posts I'm gonna assume youre a younger guy just starting flight training. Regionals are a bit aways from you and the industry will probably be in a different state by the time youre ready. Yeah for the most part, guys do their time flying the RJ and look into something bigger like a major etc. There are still lots of guys who stay for a while longer or even over 15 years. They get comfortable with it, they can bid the trips they want and live in base where they want to be. You can make over 100k as a CA with regional. If you want to go to a major, look for an airline with a bit of a lower upgrade. Horizon is over 10 years, SKW is around 8 and there are others around 1-4 years. If you want a major, they want PIC multi engine turbine time. So flying a C208 or Ameriflight/ a 135 king air isnt quite what they want....Pick something that will make you happy, where you can live in base that you want or have a easy commute. QOL/ pay, contract are other considerations.
