I have done several interviews and have had job offers with each of the following; Trans States, Express Jet and American Eagle. I also have an interview with Republic in a few weeks which means I could possibly have a 4th opportunity.
I was wondering if anyone has any insight into which of these regionals would be the best for a commute out of Denver. I'm not looking for the fastest upgrade or the newest equipment, just which one has the best commuter policy and the easiest commute. Also with regards to commuting, how does sitting reserve work for someone who commutes? Never home or barely home or can you start reserve late on your first day and end early on your last day to get back home without burning days off.
Thanks
Please don't take this the wrong way, but why the hell would you be looking at the regionals with 6,000 hrs and a Lear type? The orange site is full of Lear pilot positions. You might have to find a way to get yourself current again, but someone with that kind of experience should not be sitting reserve in ORD for $20k a year.
