I hear a lot of terrible stuff about regional life which I sympathize for many but is it mostly about pay and advancement or is it the day to day grind also? Thanks much in advance for any true insight.
Do you envision yourself living in your home, or visiting your home? I do not like the pilot lifestyle. As a regional pilot, you only visit home, unless you can get 13 to 15 days off a month. At least with 15 days a month, you can be home for half the month. Huge difference between being home every night and not. Living on base is the single greatest thing you can do for QOL.
