I wish I could have been at a legacy by now, but I will never fault anyone for taking a better path.
Good for you, you get to bypass the crappy life as a regional pilot. Most of these people wish they could have as well. Good luck to you and hope it works out.
Not true. I'm glad I got the experience at the regional level. Yes it was low pay for a couple of years but then the captains moved on and I took their spot. There are no shortcuts for experience like that. This is the same as these millennials coming out of college crying unfairness because they don't want to start at an entry level position.
