Insurance
401K match
Profit sharing
Stock
Investment options
Loss of license insurance
Pilot mutual aid
Credit union
Schedules, flexibility, days off
Bases
Equipment
All of the above are of a higher quality than what I had at the Regionals. The crews you fly with and the places you stay are all much better. Hiltons, Hyatts, Westins, Marriots, Sheratons and Crowne Plazas are all nice overnight hotels. We only fly domestic and I'm sure some of the guys who fly at UPS,FedEx,CO,UA,DL,NW,US and others can share what their overnight accommodations are like.
Overall, I can't think of any one area where a Regional has it better than a Major.
