Whatever you do, stay away from Mesa. EDV and Envoy are good choices if you can get in the door. I know EDV is being the most picky right now since they've gotten slammed with apps. Envoy is also being picky right now and putting a cap on new hires that aren't at least close to being CA qualified. But as one guy said, apply early and often to both and don't be afraid to reach out to a recruiter at both places. There are a lot of rumors flying around at the moment that Republic may open an IAH base in the future, but at this point those are just rumors. If it ends up happening, they would be an extremely viable option. Good news is that wherever you end up, you should have options for commuting out of IAH. Good luck.
