While that may be the case for some, that is not the case for many. Your overall quality of life is likely to be better at your regional. Times have changed, some regionals offer pipelines to their respective legacy. Come here and wait it out? That was good advice when there were no options ten years ago. If you aim maybe one notch lower from the legacies, you are infinitely better off at a place like Spirit or Atlas. They have contracts. We have nothing. You can call it a career at those carriers if your legacy doesn’t call.

You risk more with your career here. Airplanes that are literally falling apart, due to poor maintenance. How many air returns and emergency evac’s have Spirit and Atlas had in the last thirty days? Then you subject yourself to our ‘Safety Department’, a.k.a. put the blame as much as possible on the pilot, to alleviate all company liability as much as possible. Which is run by a former Mesa guy who like the rest of our management shake your hand and with other put a shiv in your back.
