I flew for a regional on turboprops for over 3 years and have fond memories. As regionals tend to be smaller outfits you fly with the same crew more often, so you build up more of a friendship with them. The only downside is that the routes are limited and you get a bit long in the tooth.
I now fly scheduled jets into europe where there is much more variety and it's bit easier on the old ears(turboprops don,t 'alf rattle) I must say the lifestyle is great, maybe one nightstop a week,a standby,then a couple of 2-4 sector days. You can request duties/days off, so you can largely determine your own lifestyle.
