I don't post much on these boards, but felt the need to thank cac737 for voicing what many of us feel. In regards to the differences between Regionals and Cargo, I recently came to Evergreen after working as a Captain at a large regional. Although I haven't been here long, I will tell you that you can tell the difference from the first day of training (better hotel, rental car, better training philosophy, etc). There is also no way to compare flying one leg every 3 days with a long layover in a great hotel, to flying 8 leg days with reduced rest at a commuter. Although I'm new here, I did work a two week on / two week off schedule in Alaska for years, and found that for me that was MUCH better than the 3 days at home (sometimes 2) at a commuter. Finally, all of us aren't going to Fedex or UPS, and for me this a fine place to be.
