The only thing that makes it worth while are the travel benefits. Travel the world on your days off with your extra money and open seats.

When will you have the time with 11 days off to go travel around the world? How will you pay for it when you make little money? Only thing exciting about the travel benefits is being able to get on any airline to commute to your crappy regional.

Truth. Remember you can't go far when scheduling will only give you two days off in a row at any time. At that point all you'll want to do is sleep in your own bed for a change.

Go into the living room, ask your sister to kick you in the junk. That's the regionals.....

I fly for a little bit different of a regional. I am home every night, and the pay is decent. As of now I am on track to make close to $40k on first year pay. The schedule is generally 4 days on/3 days off. Sometimes during January, June, and July the schedule goes to 5/2. The maintenance is awesome. Very rarely is anything deferred. If something does break it is fixed that night.

We also have a base in Boston, and we are starting a PDX base next month. Those two bases do have overnights though.

You forgot to have her set you on fire afterwards.
