If you want to live in SEA, LAX, or PHX or someplace easily commutable from there then join us or Skywest, upgrade as soon as possible, pad your resume, do some sexual favors for a mainline pilot, get a real airline job then you will be truly happy.

All in all I'm as happy as a regional guy could be. The planes work, the people are good, my schedule is okay, and my upgrade still may come within 2ish years. The grass is always greener and sometimes wish I chased the flows, or money, or growth blah blah blah. All I'm going to do now is get out as soon as possible and make as many friends here on the way.
