We've all been there before.... You instruct or fly checks, take the first regional job that is offered to you. Then you apply at the majors and the good corporate flight departments, and you take the first job that is offered to you....when you're 25 years old, you're not thinking safe operation, benefits, QOL, 401K and all that stuff, you're thinking G550 or 777.
Last time I checked, most of us did NOT take the first regional job offered to us. If that were the case most of us would have been Colgan or Mesa pilots first.
The fact is, MOST of us waited for a regional with a decent contract and pay. That is the fact.
