So for those who have been in the classic "Office job" to those who fly for a regional, would you say the airline path was worth it despite all the negatives? I just got my private cert. and am working on the rest of my ratings and have loved it so far. But, I am seriously considering backing out on this whole airline thing hearing all the news about the economy, gas prices, QOL for regional FO's, etc.

I don't want to end up being miserable at a regional with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. But, I certainly don't want to end up like Peter Gibbons in Office Space.
