Warning,

I don't even know where to begin. I wish I had more time. Perhaps you are holding on to tight to something that was never meant to be. The regionals never were meant to be a career. Management knows it and so do most pilots. The pay is low and working conditions are bad and that is for a reason. They don't want you to get to comfortable. For a brief time Comair won a place in the sun (just Barely), but now it is gone. The pilots at DAL and NWA want the RJ's and as many surmise the age of the regional airline as a growing force are coming to an end. If you can't convert your time at a regional into a job at a good company then its over. Your time is up. If you stay then you are going to have to accept an impoverished and over worked life. You have no support. Irregardless of seat per mile earnings and feeder arguments. You will find just as many big plane drivers that will tell you just the opposite. It is all meaningless and there will never be unity among regional pilots because to the majority it just a stepping stone. They just want to upgrade quickly and have their shot at the big time. The kid is smart. Get in and get out. Upgrade is everything.
