I'd love it if I was at Skywest seeing that I live in Chicago, but who cares? I'll have my upgrade here, get my PIC time, and gtfo. Regionals are for one thing, and one thing only, and that's to get your 121 experience and multi-turbine time. It's just the step after being a CFI to get your total time anyway.
