HOW much better than a regional are you looking for?
Pay? Slightly.
Time at home? Maybe.
Work rules? Not a chance in hell.
Retirement? Bwahahahah!
But if you're still chomping at the bit, many newhires are going to the Airbus out in FL and IWA. However, it seems to vary per class. This last class was all Airbus and 757. The next one will be Airbus and MD80. You could get the Airbus right by your house or 757 HNL. It's a crapshoot.
BTW, the attitude here goes well beyond displeasure with management. There appears to be a seething hatred that is palpable. This only gets worse with each "ignore all the evidence, SAFETY is #1" emails from the Sr VP Ops. Interview at your own risk. Good luck.
