"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!"

See now thats good stuff!
So my question to that is PSA a junky airline I have 430/45 I always planned on putting in to ASA because of the good pay and reputation and the QOL I would have by an easy commute from FWA. Same goes for Comair who I have some internal Req with but again I would have to commute. Should I just forget PSA and wait for "better regionals" PSA was a top choice because I would rather drive 2 hours to dayton rather than rely on airline commuting. I would just like to have more control if I could. The reason I want to stay at FWA is a new baby! and a wife with a good job that can support my poor butt through the regional airlines. Thus I can't instruct at some school with lots of students. Thanks guys
