5-8 years ago was the bubble for the airlines. Pay still sucks for the first 5 years and then all the resetting and grouping with seniority as you move up sucks. Now regionals are treated like Uber battered stepchildren and you have no professional courtesy or respect in the airlines. Standards are waaaaaay down and reliance on automation is key. You are absolutely nothing but a number in the airlines. Good for some, not for others.

lower standard of living and quality a life that I would caution anyone about, because it's your choice in the end.
