Depends on where you live. If you are able to minimise or avoid altogether a commuter that is very important.
Based on the company alone, there is little doubt that right now I would choose Skywest.
- Many bases
- Lots of good routes
- More than one customer airline
There are good reasons to go to AWAC.
- Good contract
- Excellent pilot group
- Good Training dept.
- Good presence in the Northeast US.
In the end, go to the one which will allow you to live your life as you see fit.
