I left the regional world about 4 months ago and it was the best descision I ever made. I fly outta my hometown airport, on avg fly about 8 days a month, and make over twice as much as a first year FO at my previous regional. My job may not be for everyone but love it. As far as the single life im 22 and single, and having more fun than i ever have . I can see how the whole commuting thing can put a huge damper on a relationship as I was in one while I was commuting.
PS its not a corporate gig either
