You want a lifetime full of that? Have fun!
I'd venture to say probably 20-50% of regionals today will not exist in the next 10 years.

Uh, how about career earnings to start. Guess who wins, by miles. Do you seriously think whatever you invested in flight training was worth it for a career track that tops out where co-pilots at majors average?

Over the last decade the "majors" have furloughed more than they have hired. When you spend 13 years on your "stepping stone" it starts to become a foundation. Your kids/house/life does not get any younger. You start to think about shoring up that foundation.

It sounds like you're talking about how things are, not a good reason for it. That right there is the issue. How many slots are there compared to regional slots? You truly still think the "major airline" job (and any chance of captain?) is the realistic end-goal? Yes, regional jobs used to be a stepping stone, but methinks you're in denial about how things have changed...
