I don't think it was an attack on low timers leaving for a shiny jet job. I was only referring to you building a small amount of time and going to a BETTER regional. You'd be surprised what an extra 6 months can get you when you go to a regional that pays horribly, has poor work rules, and doesn't treat their pilots well. If you wait an extra 6 months (or less) and get into a regional that has a good reputation suddenly you wanting to get a job flying jets turned out a lot better then you had originally planned.

Hindsight is 20/20... you don't want to look back a year from now and realize that a low level regional was not the best choice even though you can start logging "jet time" "121 time" and get a seniority number. The sky isn't falling...sometimes when you slow down...you actually speed up!
