I spent the majority of the lost decade at a regional and then finally bailed to a good part 91 corporate gig before going to the big 4. I’ve seen both sides.
The goal is to be at a major, so I’m thinking about the end of the career and working backwards.
Flying 250-300 a year in corporate, maybe some more at a charter or fractional vs. ridiculously quick upgrades (compared to 2000) at current regionals is something to consider when it comes to the speed of building a competitive resume.
