Remember kids... going from a major to a regional is an astounding career move. Why fly at an airline with experienced professionals and six figure income potential, when you can fly for a regional. You could be flying with a 22 year old FO who just graduated 3 months ago if only you are lucky enough to get on at a regional. You will be way safer flying with someone who until 8 weeks ago was flying 172's with Chinese kids.
Let's not forget how lucrative regional captain and FO pay can be. Sure you'll have to buy food for your family with food stamps the first year. Don't worry, with your massive $21,000 a year salary, you'll qualify. When you upgrade, the big bucks really roll in. At PSA, 2nd year captain pay is a whole $59,000! Wow!!!! Just think of the used double wide you'll be able to buy with that kind of scratch. Just don't finance your trailer for too long. You never know when your regional might lose their contract.
I'm sure you'll fine your new career at a regional both long and rewarding. Enjoy!!
