I would say if you plan to stay in Denver, get 1000 hours, and go to Skywest. Living at your base is a huge plus. I have no experience with a JET course, so I don't know what to tell you about that one... I would agree with BoilerUP...might be a better idea to save your money. You will receive all the training you need with the airline you join.

Republic's DEN base is fairly stagnant for the time being, but that may change when they take more deliveries in the next few months.

Please do yourself a favor, and do NOT go to Mesa...
