If you're a regional lifer (by design or accident), you need to accept certain realities. Most importantly that you do NOT have guaranteed six+ figure lifetime employment, seniority, and QOL. You can always get another regional job if you want it, but there are likely to be one or more "resets" along the way where you lose all pay, seniority, and QOL. That's the whole reason the regional system exists. Given that fact you need to have an alternate career plan or accept the regional biz the way it is.

I was annoyed that the dude came onto OUR thread to whine about about how "we" are mistreating him. If he kept it in the XJT thread he can whine about SKW all he wants and he won't be bothered.
You are correct in all your statements Rickair7777, except the end of your last post about me violating your forum. I was simply voicing my displeasure with Inc's handling of ASA/XJT. As for the new kids on the block, be smart. I only hope that there is not another event like 09/11, or the 08 meltdown that stalls your career. Good luck on your journey.
