Chautauqua is an airline that opens and closes bases on a whim. CMH and IND are the only sure things there. If you can get on at an airline like Spirit or Jetblue, take it over Chautauqua. No contest. I know Chautauqua captains that lived in base that quit to take a job at Spirit as a commuter. You would be starting at Chautauqua at the bottom. It simply is not worth it. A reserve at Chautauqua starts first day at 6am and finishes last day around 10pm. You will work every single day you are on reserve.
