Five years ago AWAC was THE regional to be at. Pay was industry leading by a long way. QOL was great. Practically a major and if you were from DEN or ATW or ORD there was no huge need to go to a major.

Fast forward to today....

What goes up, comes down. Same can happen to SKW and RAH. I don't wish it upon anyone and those are the companies I would go to if I could start over (in the US) four years ago, but your best long-term bet is probably at a major.

But you really do have to look where you want to be and what you want to do.
