People complaining about QOL seem like they want to retire from a regional and if that’s the case is a respectable choice but not my case or others I know. I used to work for a regional with “good QOL” and we were fired because we were expensive. So what’s the point on having the best health insurance or pay of you are going to be left without a job or placed in the farthest base from home.
Your regional was expensive at the wrong time. They were expensive when everyone else was cheap.
If the market turns, the same thing will happen to the regionals that are currently expensive. But until that happens, there is no issue with trying to make the most you can in the time that you can. This current wave can last for a decade, or it could end next month. Why give up 10 years of great pay and career advancement?
