Thanks for all the responses, it's good to hear perspective from people in the industry.
I expect there to be a recession in the next one to two years, mostly because we're due one, what goes up must come down, and it's being 8 years since the last one.
My main reason for asking the question is that every job out there (that's not the regionals) seems to require a thousand hours of turbine time...it looks like that will take a couple of years to get so I'd like to choose a regional that will get me that far. As someone commented QOL, domiciles and base pay are important. Yes they are, but I was curious what people thought about this aspect.
Thanks for the replys.
