Mesa, GoJet and Trans States have quick upgrades with their most junior captains hired anywhere from February to October 2015 according to their website info, so advancement potential is strong there as is the additional $ earned due to quicker upgrade projection vs. bonuses, etc. Envoy has a flow-thru to AA though, but a slow crawl to upgrade.

The other carriers are strong choices, but there must be some reason he/she is not targeting them.
