I am not flying for the airlines yet but being close to the same boat you are in I can say I have researched and found out both are not worth commuting for. There are a lot of other airlines that need pilots right now. I have to ask is there any airline you would not have to commute for? This is just my two cents and probally doesnt mean much becuase I am only instructor. Until Dec though then it is off to Mesaba. You should look at them!!!
