Congratulations on finding your path.
I'm guessing you did a couple of thousand hours on the RJ ( not competitive for the U.S. majors), making you a good candidate for your national carrier. Now making the "big dough"
However, I'm pretty sure that putrid environment got you to where you are now. Right or wrong?
I do agree that it is not a savory business back in the U.S. in the lower tier. That is one of the points of this thread. The market is trying to adjust and guys like you coming in to build time induces an artificial stimulus to the imbalance.
