1) Has a base where you live
2) Industry average pay
3) Industry average upgrade
4) A good contract, with either a union, or a pilot group that is "in-house"
5) A good diversity of flying......
Remember a few things.....
- the regional that is the "place to be" one day could be a sinking ship in a year or two...........
-Airlines that hire "street CA's" usually dont have enough qualified FO's, you might want to ask yourself why?
-Dont go to an airline to chase an airplane, the 170/Crj-700/900 is super but its no 75/6.
-Past performance is no indication of future results, or however that saying goes...........
-Dont assume you are only going to use a regional as a stepping tone, you never know when the music is going to stop, and if and when ti does you are going to want to be at a company that has decent work rules/pay, because that TPIC is not going to do much for you if/when the big boys have thousands of pilots on the street
-I will play devils advocate here and also say I would'nt want to grow old in the right seat of a "good regional",
-Also dont stab your airline brothers and sisters in the back by going to a low-class Alter e
GO-airline.................Go-Jets for all the new guys that dont know what I am talking about
-ok Im done with the ranting time to go to the Delilahs Den
