My biggest concern for you would be an east coast base with phx never happening. Just my 2 cents. Either way both companies are solid places to be.
If I finally decide on Skywest, it’ll be CRJ. When I checked earlier this month, PHX was down to a 9 month wait (it’s been 12-15 months consistently since I moved to Phoenix). It’ll suck for a bit, but I won’t have to go too far East. I’m hoping for ORD in training and then eventually make my way back until I can get something (reserve I’m guessing) in Phoenix. If Skywest hadn’t upped their pay significantly, it wouldn’t even be a competition. Tough choices now.
