I think it goes without saying that if you had an offer from a regional and a LCC you would go to the LCC if you are looking for QOL and pay. Ultimately, your career goals should establish where you gamble your career. The chase for the coveted 1000 PIC would almost certainly be attained at a regional airline than LCC or ACMI. So, which one places you at a legacy sooner?

Good luck with your decision; but mostly, just enjoy the ride and have fun flying.

Thanks, you actually understood what I was looking for, I am totally fine with going to a WO and waiting on a flow, but I just find the AMF - LLC/UPS option really appeals to me for some reason. I wouldnt mind staying at an LLC permanently but it seems more people bash the low cost carriers for alot of stuff that I dont understand yet.
