More and more regionals have “flows” to legacies and your not leaving unless it’s a very good job and commesurate with your Legacy job that’s “in the bag”.
Unfortunately I disagree. F9 has had no issue with filling classes in 2018. There are plenty of regional applicants that don't have flow. Most know that the early pilots hired at WestJet all became millionaires from the stock options fairly quick. I'm not saying that will repeat but wages higher than a regional is viewed as a career advancement to somebody making regional wages.
