A career pilot at a regional is always at risk of his company losing their contract, and even wholly owned are not immune (Comair, ASA).

My dream airline job would be living in base flying mostly turns on the Bus or Guppy with the occasional overnight in a warm location close to an aqua colored body of water. Long haul international is fatiguing and slightly boring once you’ve coasted out. That’s what makes a job at a legacy so prized, there is something for everyone.
