Enjoy!
You are getting in a at a good time.
Your number one selection criteria should be, LARGE crew base in your home town, or with a short easy commute, less than 1.5 hrs flight and 20+ flights per day.
After that should be Pay and QOL.
Remember the company that looks good now in terms of pay, growth, and time to Captain, may not be good in a few years.
You cant control the direction or the management of a company.
Consider, Home town or short easy commute first, everything else is secondary and you have no control over it.
