Regionals are offering higher pay now and certain ones have quick upgrades. If you went to the regionals and assuming you have your 4 year degree you will most likely be hired by a legacy years and thousands of seniority numbers sooner. Taking a small pay cut now could earn you a million plus more over your career. Taking that leap will impress those that interview you in future when they see how you were willing to sacrifice pay to get the appropriate experience.
