But at least I was #1 in class as a cadet for 1year. I timed it perfectly and I will forfeited the extra $5,000 bonus for the E-145, because the E175 Dreamliner is more braggadocios. I made the best decision available at the time so I could get off reserve, and “get a line faster”, or at least “live in base... where the E175 is.” Ok that last sentence is not true. I have to say something to feel better about my dumb decision, it’s a defense mechanism answer. So I don’t sound like an idiot. Now my financial life is crumbling, but at-least I live in base & will flow in 7-9 years. I’m 23 so I can live with mama as long as I want. I’m single also, so I do get to save money there, lube is cheap, and can’t afford a decent girlfriend anyways. But at-least I fly the E175 Dreamliner at a lower pay tiered regional compared to the rest of the industry where I could have made more money to pay down my enormous debt.

But oh well, my ego is satisfied. That’s what matters most right????????
