Stop comparing with what you call 121. It's not 121. The majority of the 121 airlines offer crap pay with crap benefits and employees are treated like crap. The majority; Air Wisconsin, Envoy, TSA, GoJet, Compass, Skywest, CommutAir, Republic, Piedmont, PSA, Expressjets, Silver Airways, Cape Air, Horizon, Mesa are 121 airlines.
Not really sure what you’re trying to get at with this...argument/point. Quality of life / benefits are in the eye of the beholder. Being an FO at a 121, er...regional... sorry.... is a pretty straight forward gig - especially living in base. Some FOs make some fairly nice $ for a 20 something, building valuable 121 experience and eventually 121 pic experience.
To the jet and home - pretty easy. To each their own, but the thought of loading bags, catering, ‘$hitters full’, etc... no thanks. Pay now or pay later. I’ll pay now and delay my gratification. Way more to this than immediate $$.
