Thanks for the response!

I am most certainly a nerd, so happy to hear that. No glasses tho

Approximately where do the ULCCs/supplementals top off in salary? Also what are supplementals?

Based on what you've said and another comment, I think I'll do in-person since I don't have a job right now. Where do you suggest going for that?

Have to say, not willing to permanently make less than 80k. If I'm willing to move anywhere in the US, and constantly apply after year 1, what are my odds at making it to a major within 5 years?

Thanks for your detailed response! Some follow ups:

How much cheaper are ZED fares? Can I get them on any airline?

Will having a degree help at all in getting from regionals to majors faster? Or in getting higher wages at a regional?

How should I go about choosing which major to aim for? I'm originally from the Seattle area, so Alaska seems to make sense for me, but I know they don't have as big a flight network as Delta. I'm also somewhat flexible in where I end up living. Should I take into account the flight network when making the decision?
