Avoid life at a regional at all costs, if you must go to one, pick Horizon and be Anchorage based. Horizon in ANC does nothing but day trips so you would be home every night. NEVER commute for a regional, its not worth the added stress due to the low pay and crappy work rules. However, pull one weekend drill in the ANG and double your regional salary.

I would consider Atlas above any regional carrier provided you have military experience and know how to cross the ocean. 747 based in Anchorage, sit reserve at home.
