I don't agree with picking a regional based on where you currently live. Unless you are independently wealthy or have a sugar momma you want to pick a regional that has the best opportunity to get you out the fastest. If you want the 2 year upgrade or whatever the junior upgrade is you have to move to a junior base anyway. I think it's worth it to upgrade a year or two quicker. It could get you to a major a year or two faster. Your talkin 200-400k on the back end of your career. When you get to a major then pick a base where you want to live. They have lots of em.


Using that logic if I lived in Houston I would just work for Mesa. Not a good career move especially now the quick upgrade is gone.
