Get some jet time from somewhere and escape as fast as you can. I have an interview with an LCC set up in the coming months. May take it, may not, we shall see. I feel as if any regional could have brought me to this point in typical pilot career progression.

Sometimes better options burn you. I went to Eagle in 1998. Flow through upgrade in 2 years.. then bam. That truned into down grade, and 16 year flow.... whats good today could be rotten tomorrow... regionals are regionals. You can’t put lipstick on a pig... have fun while you are there. But go to get in and out as quick as you can...
