At least your at a decent regional. I think that most people wanted that first job so bad that they went and took the first one that came along that would hire them. Then they get upset when they find out its a crap company. What most people now days don't realize is that virtually all of the regionals have become a really tough place to work.
The way is was years ago, before the 500 hour whiz kid phenomenon, you had to plan on being at a job for a much longer period time before upgrades and moving on. So most people were a little more careful with regards to who they work for. I know guys who said no when they got offers and had no backup jobs. They used the crap carriers for interview prep and stayed instructing until Skywest (they were the absolute top of the regionals back then) would call and thats only because you needed a relative inside at Horizon to get in there plus a letter of rec from god himself.
