Haha... Akulas... 30-35 knots. Unless you mean the literal translation (shark) then its more like 25-30 MPH (However, sharks are notoriously hard to get a RADAR gun on...)
OK, so Jets 'probably' help... Next question is the million dollar one that will probably cause the thread to get locked if the regional threads are any indication...
For family reasons (domicile, etc) PSA and PDT are the best options for me. My wife is thinking of getting her PhD from UT, she got her masters from VA Tech (so ROA/CHO are great). We would love to stay in the mid-Atlantic region (VA/NC/TN).
BUT... seems like everyone and their brother (and a couple of neighbors too) are extremely negative towards PSA for a vote that happened a while ago and appears that PDT will be in the same boat in a couple of days.
What are 'good' RJ regionals? I define 'good' by having a decent QOL and a quick upgrade so that I can fill out my resume and hopefully move on to a mainline carrier (fairly expeditiously). Compass is out (barring the ability to get hired somewhere else) due to domiciles.
Thoughts?
