Nope. I was saying if he plans to stay at a regional until 65 then a quick upgrade isn't as much of a factor. So in that case Skywest seems like a good place for overall QOL once you're off reserve, and Endeavor seems to be improving and pays well for the next few years. But depending on where he lives, both of those might not be the best option. But if he plans on moving on to a Legacy or LCC then i'd think he'd want to take a chance in a place with a quick upgrade. I chose TSA because it seemed like a good middle ground. The pay is competitive, work rules are good, commuting policy is good (would be better if they did hotels). Reserve is extremely quick at most bases (read: QOL) and the upgrade is less than a year if you have prior 121 time. Still under 2 for a new 121 guy like me. Granted, quick upgrade isn't everything and can go away at any time but based on the information that was available to me it was a good choice for my situation (not married, no kids). Obviously for someone who has a family and lives somewhere like SEA or SFO I wouldn't recommend TSA, but for me it was a good option.
