At Skywest, if you go to the Brasilia you'll most likely hold a line very fairly quick at this point in time. By the time you transition to the CRJ, you would again be a lineholder.
One last thing to consider... We have several former Horizon guys at SkyWest. I don't think there are really any former Skywest people at Horizon.
valid points. especially about holding a line. heck I would probably venture to say I'd rather commute to a line on a short hop (say pdx-sfo, phx-lax, etc) than be reserve on base, simply because of life planning.
tide is leaning towards the Brasilia more and more
