Third, at 500 hours I feel that I have a lot to learn before blasting around in an RJ with 50 people's lives depending on me. I'd rather wait and have a chance at a better regional. First year pay sucks, I don't want to spend two years on it.

The FBO I used to work at handled a lot of 135 ops and the flying sort of appeals to me. It's tough, it's potentially dangerous, but it will make you a damn good pilot. I think I'll do that for a couple years and try to move to a fractional or something. Then again, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
