And think about this...flows are only projected, regionals disappear, and flows have histories of ending. What evidence do you have to even back that up? Did you poll the guys who leave regionals for LCC's on their future plans?

Don't pick a regional based on flow or the cadet program....why do people do this? You sign your life away to Envoy now and you're screwed when life wants to go a different direction. If the regional has bad news before you go to class? Oh well.

If you're going to sign up with any cadet programs DO NOT sign anything that you can't get out of for free. Skywest's program is built that way to give you freedom to explore and if you choose to go there you bank big. If not, no big deal.

Ask Compass about flow or fast upgrade times. This industry is extremely volatile and things could change tomorrow at your carrier. That's why you need to be smart and not pull a trigger while you're time building. Anyone on this forum or recruiting that tells you otherwise is just lying to you.

Figure out what you want, what your priorities are (money/commuting/QOL/schedules) and pick a regional based off that. I've had oh so many friends disappointed with that Envoy 5 year program but damn they can recruit the hell out of 300 hour pilots. I would challenge everything a recruiter tells you, at any regional.
