Can you expand on this? What makes you so sure you will only be there for less than a year? If that really is the case and with all other things being equal, I would go with the regional with the better contract (pay, work rules, retirement, insurance, etc).

I always love flying with the guy who says “I should be here less than a year” or some other variant of the same sentiment. It’s always a sign of the competence and humility that makes a 121 flight deck operate smoothly.

Sure. If you want a similar opportunity, try it yourself. After 15 years of service and flying overseas you’ll be there too.
