It very possible. I probably would have been at the airline sooner if I had gone to a regional 121 instead of building 400 hours a year, but I enjoyed the ride here.

Retirement isn't cheap (for most folks) if you want it to be a time of celebration and fulfillment. If you just want to live in double-wide in Little Rock, watch a lot of netflix and play golf on the municipal course then it can be done on the cheap.
I slacked a lot at the regional since there was no movement and the money wasn't worth sacrificing QOL. I work harder at the major, and will probably hit it even harder for the last few years after the kids are out.
