Also what about Cape Air or PenAir right there in BOS?
Let me know if I can be of help.

What makes republic "industry worst travel"? I know the WOs obviously have the leg up but as compared to say somewhere like skywest, xjt, mesa, etc?

Pdt would give you a phl base and ez commute and American travel benefits which I think are pretty good. Also pdt health insurance is very good in my opinion. I hear great things about endeavor as well.
For the Newark base look into Commutair, my friend there is very happy and had lots of time off.

[QUOTEFor me this is more about the fun of learning to fly jets in a part 121 environment.][/QUOTE]
Anyone want to know why pay is in the toilet, lookee here. Retired doesn't need the money, doing this for fun, and well past the old "cut-off " of age 32 that existed in the days of big money.
Nothing against the above, just realize economics is about supply and demand. The supply has grown in all kinds of new directions while demand is growing steadily bug slow outside of retirement replacements. Retirements ain't growth, it's replacements

Well I don't know about everyone else but I'd rather sit next to the OP on a 4-day than the sour, angry, broke, twice-divorced regional lifer CA I just had to spend 20 block hours with. This guy absolutely hated flying, hated aviation, hated life, and probably hated himself too.
To the OP, good for you. Go for it. Clearly you're doing this because you want to, not because you have to. Be warned, the allure of this job fades fast... The jet becomes just another airplane, and spending 19 days a month on the road gets old quickly. That said, I'd bet your enthusiasm will be a breath of fresh air for some of the CAs you fly with.
I can't answer your question since I work for Skywest and we don't have a BOS base, but Endeavor sounds like your best bet. Enjoy the ride.
