It's different than the regionals, and in my (and all the others who came over who I've talked to) opinions- we like it much better. I was an RJ captain and took somewhat of a pay hit, but it has been well worth it with a much better QOL than I ever had at the airline, much better benefits, and a much brighter future than any regional. I miss the jumpseat, but I've also earned 6 frequent flier tickets this year and a couple weeks worth of free hotel stays for when I use the free airline tix.
