If the hiring scenario at the majors looks conducive or If I can get into JetBlue or Virgin in the next 3-4 yrs great. If nothing is happening & Emirates or QR or EY call, then I wouldn't hesitate.
So, back to my original question, do you have any experience / suggestions on the commute from SMF...
SMF is the capital of CA, so there is a lot of business and government travel. SWA goes through there a lot so it should be a reasonable commute to anywhere.
Go online and start looking up flights...see who has direct flights to the domiciles of the airlines you're looking at.
Mesa has bases in the west, and SKW would most probably hire you after six months there.
