To say one regional vs another is shunned just isn't true. Most legacy pilots don't even pay attention to whats happening/who's paying the best/who's in bankrupty etc etc at the regional level.
Saying all regionals suck is just not true and not my experience at all. One example is commuting. At Mesa, commuting to work was uncertain. Working for a wholly owned AA regional I'm on the same level as a 777 Capt. I see Mesa guys sitting at the gate but I'm getting on. I could list several other examples. Some small differences and some significant. You want to compare health insurance benefits? Let the numbers speak for themselves. My wife just flew ATL to LAX... First Class. Happens fairly often. AAG gave every employee 2 positive space tickets anywhere in the world they fly as a token of appreciation for the ATW award. I'm saying all this to give you a few examples that your comment is just not true. You deserve better than anything JO will cobble together. Moving on is not right for everyone but an excellent choice for many.
