Well this seems like a god thread to be a part of. I have been a regional fo since about January. I must say it has been a very fun part of my life and I wouldn’t go back and change the way I did it. I worked at trans states airlines, and now xjet. If I can say anything about tsa is they have a great pilot group, but the company sucks. The short time I spent at trans states was fun and bad, and for most I would just say stay away unless you don’t want to just wait a little bit for that better regional. Since being at xjet flying the jet and being the airline pilot is it what it is. You can always want the best, but just be prepared for the worst. After the first few months you kind of get the hang of things and the job just gets more fun with the time. If I can offer any advice to other aspiring pilots is that patience is golden. Don’t got to places like GoJets, Mesa, etc…just be safe and you can have a great time just traveling all over the us and meeting all sorts people
