I definitely would not recommend a job as a crew scheduler for a regional. Even though it sounds tempting to network and get your foot in the door with the company and even pick up flight benefits, the schedules can be brutal and unforgiving with no flexibility. There is very high turnover which as well may led you to a poor employee history with a potential employer. I am a part time seasonal ramper with a mainline carrier. Its been great, but less than helpful with the flying, and to get a flying job, I will have to leave anyway.
