I was willing to go to F9/Spirit/Sun Country instead of staying at RAH a day longer than was necessary. There's an insane amount of kool-aid drinkers at RAH that still believe it's a great regional. It's not. It's a horrible place to be. Bases opening and closing constantly unless it's IND, schedulers who *uck with you for the fun of it, a CEO who has openly expressed his disdain for pilots. Why, just why, would anyone want to make a career there when you can move on to a legacy and have an insanely better QOL?

I've flown with more recently upgraded captains going to a legacy than senior captains getting interviews.

You still haven't answered my question about which regional you'd want to be stuck at.

That's fair. I'm with you. My apps are on file with Spirit on up. It's not (yet) a choice for all of us like it apparently was for you. Congratulations on moving up.
