I know about ten Great Lakes guys who went for the quick and dirty upgrade in 2000 hoping to get on with a major quickly. Every one of them is at another regional.
I know 3X that many that went to the majors. If your buddies would've waited it out, they would be at a major right now. Like you said.. they hated the schedules. Nearly every person at Lakes that waited it out, got 1000+ PIC, checkairman, etc. has gone to a major (Alaska, Air Tran, Delta, FedEx, Frontier, Southwest, Northwest, to name a few). There are a few ex-lakers at FedEx laughing at the rj AND airforce guys because they got there in a lot less time. If QOL is that important then go for it, but turbine PIC will get you where you want to be the fastest... plain and simple.
