Honestly, I have trouble understanding what many of these kids are thinking today. A regional career does not offer enough compensation to justify the hassles and uncertainty. Not planning on staying at a regional?
Unless you have outside employment/income sources, or are absolutely certain that you can get a job flying for a great major (ie top-level family connections), you are taking a big risk if your entire game plan consists of SWA/UPS/FDX.
I dont know about that rick. I have a friend that has been at a regional for about 12 years now andhe is quite happy., he flies four days a week and has three weeks off. That sounds pretty goood to me.
