Believe it or not, I really don't have SJS, I just don't want to be stuck as a CFI for more than a year or 2 tops. I wouldn't mind flying for the regionals, seeing as how i'm from DFW, there's not too much problem with commuting... Thanks for all the advice guys.

I am just saying that there are no guarantees in life and that some have been saying that the tide may be turning at the regionals. If oil prices keep rising six months from now it might become very difficult to get a job anywhere. You might get stuck as a CFI for a while or have to wait it out in another industry.
