Chautauqua seemed to be one of the better choices that I have come across. There are a few things however that I am unsure about. First of all it says their pilot contract is up for negotiation in October. Would this be a really bad time to go there because of this or will it end up being a non event. Also I noticed on pilot centrals site under Republic that US Airways is recalling all jets for jobs pilots... I'm not even really sure what that means. Any information that anyone can offer about this airline would be amazing. I have been flight instructing and building hours way too long to go somewhere and end up realizing that I should be employed by someone else.
Research several regionals before you hone in on one. Talk to people face to face about the airline they fly for. Get all the scoop before making up your mind. Doesn't hurt to interview with several, though. I applied to about 4 or 5 after doing some research and interviewed with all of them before making my decision.
