Thanks in advance ya'll!!

I don’t think you seem to know what you just signed up for. Thinking about your worst days flying the RJ is going to make your eyes water.

I don’t work at Atlas or Southern, but stop trying to glorify regional flying. It’s garbage.

I’ve done both types of flying, although I was a lowly turboprop regional pilot, and I will tell you not only did I triple what made at my regional, but long haul flying is by far the EASIEST job I’ve ever had. long haul doesn’t agree with everyone, it appears it doesn’t agree with you. Best of luck in your job hunt somewhere else.
