And I should leave my regional why??? No way. I'm like many others. The idea or "dream" of going to the majors is gone. Why would I want to give up "pseudo" QOL for reserve for the rest of my life? No way! I'm OK making a little, or in some eyes, a lot less money for my "sub-par" regional airline gig with "rock hard" uncomfortable seats. At least in the US. Friend of mine said he loves it in the Middle East. Great money and work rules. If I leave, it's for the expat thing.
