Honestly, there is a very small window of opportunity to jump in a new regional before their own wave crashes nowadays. Today's diamond is tomorrow's lump of coal, and that cycle will continue probably for years. Personal opinion, but to time it right at any regional today takes a good bit of luck. Would anyone going to Endeavor this fall really upgrade in under two years? Who knows. Two or three years ago, Compass was the place to be. Now? Republic used to be the hotspot. Now? Two years ago Endeavor couldn't stop the bleeding fast enough. Now, it's sunshine and rainbows. Will it last? For years and years, ExpressJet was the gold standard for pay, contract, and stability. Now? Not so much. Without giving a regional two years (in my humble opinion) you are selling yourself short. In the time it takes to reapply, interview, complete training at a new company, get off reserve, get the base you really want, and get off probation at a new place, things will have completely changed at your current airline. Guaranteed.
