I went to the one that looked like it had a future out of the three. In training we got word of the Envoy 700s then shortly after training they announced the order for more 900s. As a PSA pilot I didn't sit one day of reserve. I got weekend off within 2-3 months. I will have my 1000 hours shortly and will be upgrading just over the one year mark with no prior 121 time. AA is not where I want to end my career so the SSP is not an issue for me either. So if you want to tell me I'm ruining the industry for making these decisions go right ahead because I got to bypass all the roughness that is normal regional life. I'm not trying to brag I'm just trying to say ragging on people for choosing quality of life is not fair. A lot of regional pilots had to indur rough lives to pursuit their dreams but that doesn't mean you should hate on others that chose an airline that let them avoid that.
