If you are worried about pay, then I would also focus on other regionals and domiciles where you don't have to be an FO for a decade to upgrade and hold PHX, because that is currently the situation at Mesa and if I had to guess Skywest isn't much different. However I could be wrong if there is some sort of massive expansion of regional ops in PHX, but that is highly unlikely and not even remotely anticipated at this point. Unless a regional is the last rung on the career ladder for you, I wouldn't even worry about trying to be in Phoenix.
