[QUOTE=DiamondDriver;2941561]With record numbers of pilots projected to be hired at the legacies in the coming years what is more important.

General Stats:
College degree (business)

Volunteer, etc.
Late 20s

I'm in a similar situation to you, 29, b.s in Aerinautics, no failures, 12 months in at a regional. My thought is that the LCC route is a much safer career move as a whole. Next time you fly with a CA that was hired before 2001 or 2008, ask them what they would do in your shoes. Most that I have talked to say run to the LCC as fast as you can. If you do, what the worst case scenario? In a few years, you upgrade, are in your mid 30s making 240ish dollars per hour.... ohhh bother. What's worse case scenario if you stay at the regional? Likely a worse situation.
