It does suck having crappy clients. Anyways, to each their own.
Ive had one CA at my shop shop insisted on planning and managing my descent to reach a crossing restriction from altitude when clearly I was going to meet it. I ended up giving him the controls and down he went. Once we got down to our assigned altitude, he looked at me was like damn, you were right. I was very annoyed with him and tried to have a short discussion to reset the CRM environment. Refused to entertain the discussion and that my friends is how he ended up on my no fly list.
Apparently he has a rep for being a micro-manager and a ****bag of a CA.

I'm coming from Part 91 as well, contemplating a move to 121. We currently fly about 100 hrs a year, trending downward as time goes on. I need to fly, both for my professional progression and for my own state of mind 
. I have a wife and young daughter, and the move to a regional would be a 50% pay cut first year just going off of monthly guarantee.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? I feel like if I'm not flying, the world is passing me by. However, a 50% pay cut is a kick in the teeth.

If you want to go to a major (legacy or LCC) absolutely go to a regional, get your time, and get out!
Also, don't get comfy until you reach that goal. Take the upgrade at the first chance even though going from a senior FO to a junior CA will most certainly sting for a bit!

As far as pay it’ll be unpleasant for a year or 2, but lifestyle, longevity, and just a lot more fun is waiting. Life is about having fun and soaking up as much of that while you’re still young enough to do so.

2900 TT, but no turbine PIC. I have an app in at NetJets but not really expecting much to come of it. They’re pretty competitive right now. I feel the regionals are the best place to fill in my logbook, whether that’s for majors, NetJets or whatever else later on.

Can she see that you take a 50% pay cut now, on your terms and timeline or you wait until you have more kids with friends on their soccer team and take a 100% cut on your bosses timeline?
