Where do you see yourself in 5 years, 10 year
What is the right answer at a regional for the 5 year/ 10 year question?
I would think the 5 year might be "I would like to see myself learn everything that I possibly can that will enable me to become an asset as a capt at XYZ airline and to upgrade to the position of Captain."
What about the 10 years though? Does a regional want to hear that you plan to move on to another airline with greener pastures or that you are going to be a 30 year captian there and dip into their retirment funds?

Regional airlines don't expect everyone that comes to work to stay forever.
5 yrs - learn as much as possible as a 121 FO and upgrade to CA.
10 yrs - continue learning in an ever changing industry and field of work. If the opportunity arises to move on to a larger carrier that would be better suited for me and my family's QOL then I would take that into consideration.
