Also facts make defending CP easy because we actually have movement and flow that will clear out our list ( BTW Delta put out a memo saying all flows will be done by Early 2016, thats 280ish pilots gone by then. We operate at 440-460). It's a regional yes but compared to others it makes sense in this environment.
Compass is a great airline as far as regionals go, but for OP to have to commute (even though LAX to SFO is a shooooort commute) his QOL may end up better at SKW. Either way he has 2 great choices both with their pros and cons but also both which I'm sure we'd both agree is a better option than AMF. Not to discredit any AMFers or their experience, but the last 6 AMFers I've spoken to that were on the chieftain all unanimously said AMF was a good stepping stone but they will never go back. that includes 4 people in the last week I've spoken to.
(all 6 are at regionals)
