Thanks Again.
Maybe. Regionals are high risk, they are often bought, sold, liquidated, at the whim of their masters (often holding companies or major airlines) who view them as chips in the game. Remember the whole system literally exists for the sole purpose of preventing senior (expensive) CAs from getting comfortable.
You won't know for sure until you retire. I would plan on majors as plan A... if you get stuck maybe the regional will last.
