But instead, you're going to do a horrific commute 2+ legs both ways to a filthy, carpeted trailer park (IAH), surrounded by sub-tropical swamp, accept $22/hour to feel like a big boy/"real airline pilot" flying an EJet, and probably get stuck down here at least half the month if not more.

And for what? Did Endeavor and Skywest (ORD EJet base one leg/drive able to Wisconsin), both say no to you?

This is an honest, serious question--I want to know if you even tried Skywest or Endeavor, because if you live in Wisconsin your life and income WILL be 1000x better at those two regionals versus battling for jumpseats to IAH and getting stuck here on average 2-3 times a month (costing you 3-6 off days a month).

I really need an answer on this one.
