Sounds like all good things. I am coming off of a military leave of absence next week. My options are an April 16 class with Compass, April 27 class at PSA or April 30 at Mesa. I could also go back to Envoy, I have 4 years seniority there and still couldn't hold a line. Tough to leave a guaranteed job at AA, but with the stern of the ship raised up 10 feet out of the water I think it's time to jump somewhere else.

As these pilots flow, the replacements pad their resume and leave quicker. See what's happening with check airmen... Can't train em fast enough! Nearly everybody here is looking to move on.

My day 1 consists of a DH leg only. I'm a commuter. It'd be just as easy for me to commute to the airport they are trying to repo me to as it would be to commute to my base.
Question is do I need to commute to my base and actually catch the DH flight to get the pay for day 1? Or can I commute to the 2nd day starting point myself and still get paid?
Thanks in advance.

You can commute yourself and cancel your dead head. The only caveat being that once you cancel the dead head the commuter clause will no longer apply should you not make it to operate the flight.

Like you said, we don't have the "lifers" like every other regional out there.
