The regional industry is a good way to do it, and has recently become shorthanded and better paid...
Are there any regionals that SWA has a particular preference for, or that would best prepare a pilot for flying at a major? From reading the forums here it seems like they range from bad to godawful, and while I accept that I'll have to grind it out, I'd like to make sure I'm on the best path.
That also raises the question of getting into the regionals in the first place. The CFI vs 135 question gets asked a lot, I'd be interested in the opinions of SWA pilots specifically on that issue.
