Hey guys, I need a real answer. I'm 33 years old and currently flying for a Part 135 Scheduled "airline". I've been thinking for some time about joining an airline. I'm really looking for the benefits, long term pay, and of course the retirement offered at the mainline carriers. I have a wife with a kid on the way, so these things are very important to me. Is there anyone that could offer advice that is currently employed at Envoy (or any other Regional) that could give me a real look into how it is. Obviously, the pay cut would be difficult, but I'm not getting any younger and I know the pay will significantly increase the longer I stay. The reason I am interested in Envoy is that I would greatly prefer a DFW base.

Thanks in advance for the advice. Communicating over PM is preferrable
