In your experience, why are some pilots are regionals “lifers?”

I live in a neighborhood where you basically only have to cross one road (max) in order to get to all the various centers, shopping, etc. Traipsed with sidewalks, tunnels and even single track if you want to MTB down to the grocery store for bacon. But still you’ll see SUV’s stacked up at the bus stop to pick up their kids and drive them home a block away.

Ungh.

The house at home is about a mile from a surprisingly nice collection of stores, bars, and eateries. Camarillo is slowly becoming a decent university town. It’s still sprawled way out, but there are some decently walkable areas of it.

Getting anywhere else useful mandates a car.

Maybe.

My car is 5 years old and I’ve only put about 36,000 miles on it. Some of that is the fact that for 2.5 of those years everything I needed was within a 10 mile radius; I fervently believe in minimizing my environmental impact through driving as little as is possible.

That's what happens when you view an automobile as an appliance, rather than a machine that stirs the soul when you see it, hear it, feel it, ride in it, and operate it.

No different than why flying an airplane should be a human experience rather than simply a mode of transportation.

I don’t view these as exclusive viewpoints.

I like domestic RJ 3 day trips. I do really well waking up at 0500, every day of my life. I like being able to carry food with me, and I like having a nice, quiet, sedate and boring career. I like being a slam clicker and getting some rest while I'm at work, so I can be a more useful husband and father on my days off.

I would bid the 717 at delta and never leave. If I were at American, I'd bid the 190 and never leave.

Fight me.
