Why do so many people in this job complain about not being home every night. Did you not realize that's how it works? You wanna pick up trash 12 hours a day 5 days a week? No one is stopping you and you'll get to sleep in your bed every night.

I'm currently a student trying to become a pilot, my ultimate goal is to make it to the majors. But, I know that doesn't happen as soon as you finish flight training. I would like some insight on life as a regional pilot. I know pay as an FO isn't that great. How long until you become a captain. And how long until you get picked up by a major airline? Thanks if you can shed some knowledge 
Hope that helps!

According to that advertisement at the bottom of this page he could upgrade in 18-24 months and flow to AA in 3-5 years if he gets hired at PDT.

As was mentioned, PenAir.
We get close. The first half of this month I am within my 5 hour buffer of 100 in 672. But most lines are three days of flying, and one of reserve. Home reserve rules BTW. Most lines are built to 70 to 80 hours. But the credit is around the 110 hour mark.

Say what you like, but the Red Sox commuter clause is totally worth the pay cut!

20% of the parings at SkyWest allow that. Another 10% are 2 day trips. You'd average 2 nights a week at a hotel.
