Having 20 years in the regional industry ive seen a lot of change. trying to pick a fast upgrade should be last on anyones mind as a 1500jr cfi. The amount of movment the next 10 years everyone will have quick upgrades.. Pick a regional that you will be close to home, Little to no commute, and enjoy were you fly.. A few are unstable right now XJT/Republic/Envoy.. I would wait tell things settle out there, maybe a year to see what there future truly holds.. Just my 2 cents...
