there is a lot of good info in this thread... SkyHigh im curious as to why youre such a big participator in these forums if you truly hate the industry? sure your successful and have your own business etc, but if you still spend time on these boards, then something must be missing from your life. I dont mean that in a negative way, but it seems to me that a big part of you wishes you didnt pass this up.

This is an exciting time to go to the regionals. For years management at most companies have been able to rape their pilots but now the tables are turning with the majors hiring and a lot of companies not being able to keep up with attrition. work rules are going to improve, unions will have the upper hand at the table, and youll see a lot of respect come back to this once great profession... a lot of you naysayers wont agree, but im willing to make this interesting with a wager
