Going to a regional even with the "better" pay is still a $70k pay cut. I have no debt and money in the bank but that is still VERY steep.

At least going to a Major it is a 50k cut but almost back to normal at year two. I can take the risk of going to a Regional and hoping/praying a Major calls or task the risk of staying where I am and never get a call.

Very confusing.
