You're a junior captain at a regional who's giving ups a "serious thought"??
Wow! Sure, we have a plethora of issues here at brown but things must've gotten SIGNIFICANTLY better at regionals for someone to even consider staying at a regional versus going to ups? No critisism just surprised to see such a comment.
To me a regional was the ultimate punishment. Bad pay, tough schedules, working for an airline which was then flying for another airline, constant bidding wars with other regionals, etc., etc.
As opposed to flying for a company with admittedly unsexy uniforms but good pay and benefits, a company that's been in business for 109 years..
Yeah, regionals of today must be a much better place nowadays.
