Move to the 121 Dash 8 side, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, ability to commute. These are the reasons I will be applying this summer as my VFR Pt135 seasonal job ends. That said, I would rather be closer to home here in Western Colorado / Arizona but we shall see what opportunities arise as I approach IFR mins. Not in a position to just move anywhere for job, so quality of flight time and ability to commute are high on my list.
