Who would leave for a corp job..

although I would've loved the pay and the QOL, I wasn't ready to just sit there and swing the gear.

I know a gentlemen who nearly quit his job because of this. That is, until his Captain died on an overnight and he was promoted the next day. Worked out very well for him!

before you fall for the "grass is greener" syndrome and dump your seniority.

Seniority at the regionals is a joke. It doesn't mean squat if your airline takes a dump. You too can make $100k/yr...just put in 15 years and if the airline makes it, you'll be sitting pretty!
