There aren't. The original post was a bit of a ramble, but the goal is to get out of there ASAP and either on to your last seniority list or a step closer to it. Anything associated with anything related to a regional is temporary in nature. The current pay/bonus structure is temporary, the retirement isn't near what you'll need. Whatever QOL you think you have now will be re-attainable in the not too near future when your on your final list. My reply isnt really directed back at you FlyinCat as I obviously have no idea the particulars of your situation, it's more generic in nature to someone who wants to hang out at a regional on purpose for supposed short term QOL or pay reasons. Get out ASAP. Your 65 year old self will thank you.
