That being said, commuting to a round 1 line at PSA is pretty good quality of life. Weigh your options. Short term pain (commute to reserve at PSA until you can hold a line in about 6-12 months depending on base) or longerish term pain (sit reserve for a lot longer at Envoy, won't upgrade as quick, lines aren't as good, potentially displaced if you are awarded ORD CRJ). It's a tough call, but I can say after taking advantage of the quality of life the SAP here at PSA offers I wouldn't ever want to work for another regional. My family has been considering a move to Denver and I still wouldn't leave.
