The regional industry is really not a great life especially if you're commuting, and there are no guarantees you'll ever make it to a mainline. I don't work for Mesa but I think your best bet would be to do whatever allows the best life for your family.
Not sure what my goals are. I guess I lean more toward 135/91, but a decent airline would also be fine such as JetBlue, or something international that pays great. Yes, I'd live where I work, which near "home" and the lifestyle would probably be a lot better. Still, all that jet time seems like it would open doors a lot faster, even if I have to endure the lifestyle for a while. Fortunately I'm single and can do what's necessary.
