You can only go up from there. That seems totally hire able if you want to go to a better place like a major or corporate outfit. Unfortunately the seniority system doesn't play to your advantage if you want to jump ship for another regional. Since you would start in the right seat and 1st year pay always sux, the system is designed for a newbie. Obviously anyone can do what they want and I guess if you catch one of those street captain hirings it would be nice.
