The question is how majors look at turboprop vs turbojet and the weight you've been flying?
I have a 2 year degree with no plans on getting 4 year one.
I guess in a nutshell after all my mumbling about here, I picked the regional that had a true flow with bases that were most commutable for me, also in locations I may live.
For me LGA is an easy commute, and DFW is somewhere I would potentially move to once my wife finishes med school here on the east coast. Hence Envoy.
Also me originally being Australian, Envoy appears to have the best travel benefits with AA/one world than everyone else, also played some part in my decision.
If you read all the forums about each regional you'll find people complaining about the same stuff or variations thereof if you're comparing apples with apples (i.e. Regionals with true flows). They may be right in what they're saying, or have legitimate gripes, that being said, coming from my background of contract flying helicopters regionals are dream run by comparison.
My only true point to make is seniority is everything, there's no time like now to get in and get in the queue.
