Or better yet, having a good idea of what restaurants are in the hub and even outstations helps for planning on what and when to eat. I don't eat meat or dairy and I make it work just fine. I just end up eating a lot of the same thing many times.

It's all a crazy game, but however that particular part of the game ends, I don't think it involves a 30 airplane fleet at a WO.
As for flow, no idea. Trying to predict more than one year out (heck, 3 months out) is crazy talk, and this industry is on the fast train to who the heck knows right now.
One thing is for sure, market forces *seem* to be in our favor right now. All this talk that certain people like to have on P2.0 about "squeezing the company" is kinda pointless. No matter what one's personal opinions about using your cell to call MX or if you should take a 200 with a broke APU, the company has much, much bigger fish to fry.

Ehhh... not if you want to be regular for the next week
Plus those things are not very healthy. High in sodium and designed for people who are burning lots of calories.

What is the fastest way to get to a major? I really want to skip the entire non-glamourous regional phase. May be for some but I don't think it's for me.

Usually you can hold it while your still in the training pipeline. Reserve to R1 (since that's what most people care about) is running about 7 months in CLT.
121 experience can help you bid because you know what you like and you know how to bid for it. This is especially true if you have experience with how line bidding works and the digital hellscape that is FLICA.

If it turns out less, great. You will probably get awarded CLT at some point during training (including SIM and IOE) but the effective date will probably be 2-3 months out.

Besides that, there's time to get off and get something quick. You MAKE the time. You're good to nobody if you're hungry and on poor diet.
