Oh my friend, sit down and get comfortable, its gonna be a loooooooooong journey. You've joined the other 15,000 regional pilots with the same goal and aspirations.

At first you are happy and upbeat. You're flying a turbine powered airplane with passengers in the back. You're thinking, hum I'm going to be one of those fortunate guys who goes to a major from the right seat, won't even have to upgrade. 5 years later, perhaps a Captain then, you're thinking, where exactly did I go wrong, what the hell was I thinking, this is not what the brochure said. Get me out of this dump.

Been there, done that, got 3 shirts. Thank God NetJets picked me up, otherwise I would be on suicide watch just about now.......
