I thought that code sharing SWA did with a Mexican airline was essentially SWA flying starting to be outbid? Am I wrong here? Regional flying taking over major flying is outbidding also. It may be a different form of outbidding than what Regionals go through, but nothing is safe anymore.

Again, I could be wrong here, and I'm more than open to being corrected!

The problem is 80K is not a lot of money anymore. Throw in a mortgage, wife, kids, car and your living paycheck to paycheck. I left my RJ gig making 85K to start at 50K, but after 2 yrs I will be making more this year than I did, and if I stayed, with their paycuts I would make 80K. There is nothing wrong with making a regional a career, have lots of friends that did, but driving to work, doing no more than 2 legs a day and not worring about someone else " outbidding " my flying is nice to have.

Unfortunately, the people who make it far enough into flight training to benefit from what you've just said all have tunnel vision---and will only be able to learn the hard way. That's the problem with loving to fly...you're a sucker right up until you've sunk your time, money, and life into it.
