Ok fellow regional pilots, I'm finally out of regional hell heading to fly corporate gig. I haven't posted much but I sure do appreciate the info you've shared and sometimes the hysterics and laughter that we've all contributed to on this board. Wanted to say, I understand how hard all of you work (including myself to this point) and the utter pain staking sacrifices a regional pilot has to pay on a daily basis in hopes of getting a phone call or an email from an HR department welcoming you to the next level. Which, as we all know, can take months if not years to receive. Never in the three career fields I've worked in, those being the US Army, the concert sound/lighting/rigging industry, and the regional airline industry, have I ever seen a harder working, more dedicated, relentlessly exhausted group of professionals in my life. With the exception of having two combat deployments under my belt, all of us regional pilots and those of you that still work at a regional, that get up and do the job day in and day out I salute all of you. And those of you with families my expressed gratitude to your families as well, it ain't easy being a husband and father making less than poverty wages. I know how painfully dissatisfiing the job can be and how under appreciated we are/were not only by the companies we work/worked for, but, by other pilot groups that seem to think we can't do the exact same job with a longer airplane, for a longer time and over water. Keep on truckn' and fly safe.
