I spent 9 years in the right seat at Republic, I more than paid my dues. I can take a contract corporate gig if necessary to get recent flight time, but I will never see a regional again. That being said, I never looked at FSI as a career choice. I would still love to fly for a major but I can't sacrifice the financial security of my wife and two kids to do that.
That why I say don't try be a pilot before you are independently wealthy.
