I'm curious as to how you have decided that ExpressJet is better than all others. I make about 7 bucks an hour more on first year pay (no food stamps), am based in an awesome city in the most beautiful part of the country (not polluted like IAH, and river doesn't catch fire like CLE), get to fly a really fun turboprop, and get a 10% 401K match my first year. Oh, did I mention free health coverage?
As was already said by Pilotpip, BoilerUp, and Cyrcadian, there is no best regional. It all depends on what you are looking for. Personally, ExpressJet was about fourth on my list when I was job hunting due to their bases. No doubt that ExpressJet is a good company, but it wasn't the best for me.
