Congrats. Just curious, why did you leave a Gulfstream gig for the regionals?

Everyone has their reasons. The pay cut is the only hard pill to swallow.

Congrats man!

 

[EIR]

Congrats!

Also a curious question. Considering the III is bigger than the CRJ-200 in size and weight and is a jet, and crew environment, the majors/nationals weren't willing to give you a look? Seems silly if not. I suppose no PIC time in the bird could be why. Congrats anyways though mang! Good, solid place to work.

 

[Apophis]

Congrats on the new job! I could see myself at Skywest eventually.

Not all corporate gigs fly that much either. Some outfits will only fly you 20-40 hours a month....if you're lucky.

God I hope not. That's starting to sound like work.

After 25 days in a row of cheap hotels in Mexico, you'd understand.

Congratulations Curtis.
Hasta Luego Mexico.

I would say something, but I'll refrain. Congrats and good luck in the airlines.

You never know the whole story. I used to hate the airlines as much as anybody else here, thinking that only "suckers" would go to a regional. Circumstances changed, and I left my corporate gig for a regional. It was an extremely difficult decision, really one of the more difficult ones I've ever made in my life. Coming up on a year and a half later, it was a good decision and I'm very happy with my career track now. I also have a fantastic quality of life, and live in base in an awesome part of the country.

I think Stone Cold was referring to some thing else. My guess is this:
