Going to just about any other regional at this point will double your pay. You're going to be stuck in the right seat for a while, so you really have to consider this.
This is really surprising, currently 2 of my friends at Mesa who got hired 5 and 4 months ago told me they would upgrade in 14 months.
They have have no previous 121 experience.
But anyway, if they don't upgrade they gonna have a hard time on low pay.. :-/
