Every regional is a dumpster fire at one point. The legacy carriers will continue to play one against the other looking for the lowest cost option. None of them are great jobs where people want to spend decades of their lives. If I were starting out right now I’d prefer to go to a regional with a base somewhere that I could tolerate living, embrace the suck, and try to aggressively build a quality resume. Once you have 1,000+ PIC start looking at places where you could make a career if the employer of your dreams never calls. The LCC’s or ACMI carriers aren’t Delta or FedEx, but they beat the heck out of 5 legs a day competing to be the lowest bidder.
