Now if you want to talk about difference in pay and job stability that is a different story.

That’s not the point. The point is the regionals are for most people the step before the “forever job”.
Just like HS is the step to get into college. And your record and grades and where you went to school and your interview might get you into Yale or might get you into the local CC and everywhere in between.
A safety school is a college you apply to being unsure you can get into a top school (major)...
It wasn’t my analogy....

And some people take high school very seriously too...
But the safety school part is apt.

That’s the analogy. Has nothing to do with responsibility or difficulty, it has everything to do with career management and expectations, hence why you are leaving (trying to leave?) a regional.

A state school diploma still beats a high school diploma.

Anyone with aspirations of being treated like a pilot, should seek life at a true major or legacy.
The CBA is an improvement only. Im glad to have it, but we'll always be behind and this management hates us.
Most guys here are hoping to be purchased simply to dump this management. ymmv and again, good luck.
Btw, the regionals are highschool. Get over it.
