Not all regional lifers are there just because they don't want to temporarily give up QOL. Many are simply unhireable at a major for various reasons. (DUI's, no degree, busted checkrides, etc) Most regionals will fail within the next decade and the whole lifer debate will be moot. No need to hate on lifers.
