I generally have pretty good QOL at my airline. I've been on property since January, had my sim training in March, and finished my IOE in June. I have quickly built seniority in my base, and I can bid a line if I want but I've been bidding reserve to have a little more schedule flexibility. I commute but the commute is relatively painless. 20 minute drive to the airport, and a 45 minute one-leg flight to work. Recently took a 3 week leave that the company was offering. I've had more time off this year than I've ever had with any job and it has been great. My regional is wholly-owned so the travel benefits are pretty good compared to most and myself and my wife haven't experienced any real challenges getting around. I'll likely be able to get some time off for the holidays coming up as well which is almost unheard of for someone who has been at a regional for less than a year.
