If you are coming to work for a Regional you are selling your soul to the devil. You might not think so now but you will soon enough realize the truth. You will be working the first year on reserve with 11 days off, in one of the most expensive cities in the world making just over $20,000 a year. You will have to commute to work the day before four times a month, two to three times a month you will not be able to get home on the last day of your reserve stretch and one to two times a month you will get screwed with integration and only get one day off which makes it impossible to go home. That means there are some months when it is possible that you will only get two full days at home, yeah, TWO full days. Just when you think you have it good and build a little seniority, living in your base of choice with decent time off, the industry will take a 180. Then you will get displaced, be forced to commute half way across the country, face imminent furlough and watch upgrades go from months to years and you are back to square one. How is there any other way to look at it other than selling your soul?
