No, wrong attitude, wrong attitude. This may be the common idea about the young pilot community, but it is fundamentally wrong and it is very damaging in the long term. It's a small, short term way of thinking about a large, long term problem. Choose an employer with nearly the same care you might choose a church, family lawyer or family doctor. You may be stuck there for your entire flying career is the reason, and that's serious business. This "get in get out" attitude is exactly what fuels this abusive regional airline industry we have today where labor is treated like a cheap towel and the system is almost bankrupt.

Years ago I took a political science course. One of the things I recall is, that young people do not vote. Politicians have the hardest time getting people under 35 to come out and vote for anything, even things they obviously should vote for. It's a known principle in politics, you never take the youth vote seriously because they are not a powerful force in any election. But what dawned me this morning was, this is exactly the same demographic that applies to regionals. It's a predominantly young white male demographic that does not think in terms of collective advantage; it thinks about underselling the next little player for short term advantage, which is ultimately an unsustainable behavior because it bankrupts the system.
