Just met a guy who told me he left Mesa for another regional because he was flying too much - he said he was getting a day a week off (I’m assuming was commuting). Despite asking he didn’t see it changing anytime soon so he changed it for himself by leaving.

OO has just opened DFW. Can’t speak to any others. Agree with comments elsewhere about not commuting and also flying instead of sitting. Re types, l disregarded advice to pick ERJ over CRJ, not because it was incorrect, but because it didn’t fit my particular situation with my specific goals.

If your goal is a major in a couple years, perhaps the best available training, 121 time, and QOL in your situation will be the deciding factors for you. While there is good info on this and other boards, you alone will live with your decision. So go with what works best for you. Good luck!
