TSA is all -145s. Yeah, they're growing, but how long are those 145s going to be around? They're falling apart already (ENYs anyway) and oil isn't going to be this low forever. Contract aside, Go jet and the 70+ seat flying seems like a safer bet.

I know a lot of people hate on the company, but I want to get my foot in the door, and settle down in one place for a few years.

I would WAY WAY WAY rather own my own planes than have them "borrowed" from a major.
You talk as if you really have no idea how this industry works. That or you are just super bitter and jelly there is a decent regional out there where people are happy to work.

Are you really naive enough to believe they won't find flying for them or just blinded by that much hate?

And yes, the majority of airlines are scoped out. AA doesn't have much left to give after the the ENY -175s, options, and PSA -900 options. UAL is about maxed out on 70+ seaters and so is delta. Unless that changes soon, everyone is scoped out and won't be fighting over the MRJ that has been "coming out any day now" for the past 4 yrs.
