the worst thing that can happen at a regional is that the whole regional goes away and you start out zero seniority somewhere else. All it will take is one bad mistake by a coworker over whom you have zero control. And that HAS HAPPENED at some regionals and may happen at others.
The worst thing I would expect to happen at most ULCCs is that they get bought and you go through a seniority list integration to become the tail end part of something even bigger and better. That might be wishful thinking, but so might expecting to finish your career at any given regional.
