New to 121, not new to flying. Currently in Coastal NC, PSA/CLT makes sense to be able to commute for. Within 35 mins of OAJ,CRE,ILM all with PSA flights to CLT daily it looks like. Really want to start with a company that's "low gain" on the misery that seems to be so wide spread. Any input is welcomed. Just retired from mil, want to keep flying and stay in current locale.
Training: 6 weeks in Dayton, then about 2 Weeks in CLT or CVG. EFB's being delivered to everyone in April for a trial period where we'll have to still have current Jeps for 6 months.
I'm here solely for the CLT base and I commute. In retrospect I still wouldn't trade the shortest regional commute I could ask for at PSA for any better pay/contract incentives. I turned down CJO's to endeavor, compass and Miami Air to be here and it's all worth it so I can take an easy hour and 15 minute commute home.
Your priorities probably aren't the same as mine but I've thought a lot about it, and don't think I'd take a job at spirit, allegiant, or virgin America purely because it'd take longer to get to work and id have less time at home.
