if you are thinking about regionals try and get in somewhere asap because seniority is everything. Life here at XJET has been really good for me. I am about to get off of first year pay so it will alot better pretty soon. If you can manage through year one then i think some of the regionals are great jobs. I pretty much work 4 on 3 off and i am at home about 14 to 15 days a month. Thats important to me because i have a 9 month old. If you go the regional route i suggest moving to where ever you get based because commuting stinks. Its so nice to finish up your flying at home.

Good luck
