Screw the beer....I'm on to Jack Daniels. Dude, Kelly's Heroes rocks. Nice Avatar.

Its all about where you work, what kind of contract you have, and a little luck. Yes you have to be pretty senior for this to be your story, but hey, it was worth the wait for me. I should go to a major, I'm young enough, but man this makes it tough. This is why its so sad to see Sh*tty companies getting larger because people are willing to go there and make less because "hey, its just a regional. You have to get in, get your time, and get out". Enjoy the race to the bottom newbies! I'm sure this career is going to be excellent in 10 years by the time you get your "dream job".

120k!? What regional pays THAT with those days off!!? Sorry, calling BS on this one. I wanna see a W-2......
