If you need 100 hours a month to survive then you probably need to do some sort of financial changes. Sell a property or two. Sell the cars. Get rid of car payments etc...
the sooner you leave the regional you’ll be better off. American Airlines has the same low quality of life regionals have but with double the pay.
My .02 is to budget your expenses on 74 hours.
You’ll be 1000 times happier. Your family will be too.
You need seniority to reap the benefits of soft time.
This job isn’t healthy. The less time you spend here the longer you’ll live.
