I never had a problem with 60 - 80k. Its just the regional schedule and lifestyle that are wearing me out. I really don't have a problem with min. days off. I just get really tired doing constant standups and 14+ hour days with a hour drive to work + a 30 min ride on the employee bus. I could live closer...but who wants to live that close to a major airport in the ghetto. If you are a high energy person that routinely lives on less than 5 or 6 hours of sleep(I know many people who are). Then you may very well be happy retiring at a regional, and this may very well be the job for you.
To each his/her own.

Its a truck drivers lifestyle with a better view out the window. If thats what your signing up for, then your making the right move.
