Go experience Army life, then fly the civi side. Pilots love to complain, but I haven't found much to complain about here compared to my old life. Started this year. Reserve? Nope. Thanksgiving off? Yep. Snack basket... okay, maybe our snack basket sucks. BobbyLee!!! You need to represent, son!
Put in your time, pay your dues, keep a good attitude, and move on.

Yeah. Flying in 120F heat. Chicken plate. Someone trying to kill you. Shoving frozen 1 liter bottles of water down your flak vest to keep from a heat injury. Then dumping those bottles on you when they melted. Doing that 14 days in a row and so exhausted you learn the meaning of “chronic fatigue.” Looking at pictures of your family every night and hoping you would see them again. Tell me again how regional life sucks?
I have news for you. If you hate it now you wont be happy pflying for the majors. Yeah. Pay is much better. QOL can be better. But it’s the same job.

Yeah man, the regionals do suck. But mainly because of the pay. That's really the only thing I have to complain about.
Getting shot at and eating MRE meals in 120 F heat sounds way more sucky than being a regional pilot today, though.

Some of you think you have problems because you're against the regionals. You demonstrated in school... you wear peace symbols on your steel, and you have attitudes. I'm an orphan, my brother's queer, the city of Chicago got the clap from my sister, Mom drinks, Dad coughs blood, I have ringworm, imersion foot, the incurable crud and the draft ruined my chances of being a brain surgeon. People, you are in the regionals. You have no problems.
