And what airlines would that be? Give examples...

Next year? Things will change by then. Come back and ask that question then.

Default Which Regional??

Skywest hast the most birds on order, most domiciles, and the best group of crew's I've heard. Just raised 1st year pay to 24 (not that it's amazing but it helps some) It's not all about upgrade times imo. If you're gonna be at a regional at least be at a place where there's some happy people who don't hate their life and ***** all the time.

Default 2 Things...

Two things I can't believe...

(1) That this thread made it to page 2
(2) That anyone actually took the time to try to answer the question seriously...

If the goal of this thread was to flush out all the lurking airline recruiters on here, then this thread is epic!

If people can't ask those kinds of questions in all seriousness on this forum, it should be re-named to "Regional Airline Pilots' Crying Festival."

He was the only one brave enough (or perhaps inexperienced enough with just two posts) to try to get something useful through all the noise.

It depends what your goals are. If you want to get to a major airline, then some of the earlier posts are right. Go to the airlines that pay the worst and have the quickest upgrade (PSA, etc).

If you want a place with great work rules, excellent QOL, great pay, and good job security, go to dental school.

If he's seriously basing his career and life decisions on the advice of anonymous strangers, then I'm worried about his sanity and judgement.

Totally agree. But at least he's asking instead of planning to accept the first telephone job offer that comes his way.

in all seriousness, in today's regional pilot job market, I'd answer every offer and have them bidding against each other. Really.
