I agree 100%. Weighing the pros and cons of Skywest vs Compass vs Mesa. All the research I've done just keeps pointing me towards Skywest (stability, growth, pay). Commuting would suck I am sure, but I'd like to think I could suck it up for a short while if it meant my family and I would be better off in the long run. Long as in as long as it takes until one of the big 6 come around.

I am still learning and open for suggestions.
