While I respect the fact that each is entitled to their own opinion, I find it laughable that so many think a major 121 gig is so fundamentally different than a regional gig. The similarities faaarrr outweigh the differences. And for some us, those differences aren't enticing enough. Not by a long shot. Some guys eat up the hub/spoke, uniform, flight attendants, big airplane, etc... Just not for me when given the choice in my particular situation.
At the end of the day, we all value things differently. And that's okay.
