Both with a single owner. Both with a large group of fun yet disgruntled pilots.
Oh ya and the Dash was hella fun. Get on that if you can. It really is an awsome plane.
Lastly, why compare regionals to eachother. They all suck. There will be things you hate! So go somewhere you do not have to commute. Dont choose a regional for its shiny jets. Pick hat will give you the best QOL. Because again, regionals suck.
Hey, thanks for the info! That's the first legitimate, informative, and "good guy" response I've gotten in a long time on here.
Yeah, every regional has it's issues no doubt. I've worked for four of them and I'm assuming this time won't be any different. Some of the most fun I've had in the business was with TSA and Air Wisky.
I'll probably end up on the 145 since I've got a lot of experience in it but I don't care what I fly...and I know the dash would be a blast. I live in Green Bay so I'll be doing a two leg commute no matter what to get there. I'm planning on just living in a hotel for the near future.
I'm looking forward to the new friends I'm going to meet and work with. Thanks again for the good intel!
