It seems like no one ever gets sick of this "my regional is better than your regional" thread.

EVERY regional has something that the other doesn't have, and that is what should be the deciding factor when you decide to apply for a job. SkyWest doesn't have a union. If you feel a union is important, go somewhere that has one. RAH has a commuter policy, SkyWest doesn't. If you are going to commute and feel that is important, go somewhere that has a commuter policy. Mesa and Trans States hire at 250, if you have 250 and don't mind being abused, go to those two. If you want to be properly compensated, but don't want to upgrade for six years, go to Horizon. If you enjoyed being hated and made fun of as a kid, go to gojet.

Every regional has some little niche that in the eye of worker makes it better than the other. Trans States has a better drop policy than SkyWest, but they are far from being a comparison to SkyWest.

Please just leave the "my regional is better than your regional" conversation alone. I am happy at SkyWest flying for less than what Horizon, XJet, RAH, etc., is paid. Big ... deal.

I think anyone who has gone from Mesa or Trans States to another regional will consider the latter airline "top tier"!
