Check out the obvious regionals but also those lines like Jet Blue, Spirit and others of that tier.  

Getting started is the most important aspect, and with entry to the larger equipment you can snag a better career progression with respect to just about everything involved.

Myself, did the airlines for short of a decade and got soooooo totally bored staring at an instrument panel and then inside of cloud that I just couldn't hack it further.  

The pay was getting up there but sanity, or lack of it, prevailed in my case.  Is what it was.  History now.
