I'm asking for a friend. Since I've been employed by a major for over 8 years, I'm out of the loop.

If you had to rank the Regionals by who would be the best to work for and offered quickest upgrade and quickest chances to the majors, who would you put in your top five?

Is it best to work for a company that offers a flow through to a major, or a company that doesn't so you could apply and possibly get hired before someone who was stuck in the flow?

Thanks to all that reply.
