I'm currently working for another regional and I am sick of commuting. I missed my commute to work once due to weather, since it was a 4 day high credit trip, including per diem cost me about $1k. Not to mention how many times I haven't been able to come home after a long trip.

I'm nowhere close to upgrade where I'm at, so I've been considering a lateral move, and living in Orlando, Silver is pretty much the one. Any advice about this?
Quality of life here is awesome. I've been here for about 2 years and 3 months and so far I haven't regret my decision to work for silver. Pilot group is awesome specially MCO base. I quit RAH in training 2015 and decided to give a chance to silver and so far it was the best decision. People from here jumped to all the majors, Jetblue, Southwest, Spirit, Frontier, ABX etc. We are growing receiving new airplanes this year, also with the acquisition of seaborne means another base soon. I came here with 0 121 time and I did my upgrade in 15 months. Prior 121 guys could upgrade in 6 months or less. With the ATR coming into property probably upgrade in the saab for prior 121 will be a lot faster.
