There is honestly no good advice when picking a regional besides picking the one where you can live in base or have an easy commute. That is honestly should be your top priority when picking. Every regional is crap. No regional is safe. When it looks like there is massive movement one day, its furloughs the next. So while you are stuck in regional purgatory you mine as well go for the best QOL by living in base, or in a city where your parents live so you can live rent free for awhile.
You're putting words in my mouth. I never said go to Compass for a quick upgrade did I?? I can't find it if I did say that. Being junior FO on reserve typically isn't good QOL, especially if you have to commute. So, when I mention high turn over rate or a lot of movement that could mean moving up the FO list a little faster to be able to hold a line and have a little better QOL. So, no, I didn't contradict myself. You assumed I meant a quick upgrade.
