Hi-

Given the choice what would you choose?

I'm a military reservist at Travis AFB with 2000 hrs (1200 turbine). I don't care about the pay, they both suck, but ultimately the commute is what I'm concerned with. I'm a 3 hour drive to FAT and 45 minutes to SFO / OAK / SMF. Moving is not an option.

With that being said… It looks like Eagle has an LAX base, which I suppose wouldn't be a bad option… although I don't know how hard it would be to get it.

Skywest has SFO and FAT which would be good, but again, not sure how hard those are.

Most of the Major pilots I work with say it's best to just get into a regional and use the AF reserve flying to supplement your income while you build time for the majors. But I don't want crazy commute hours and also have reserve flying to keep up with. Thoughts? Thanks!
