I do appreciate opinions as they helped me to decide on regional in a first place.

RJT-1y class date wait, 7m training

PSA-1-2y rsv with barely any flying time (all DH + base not guaranteed) 10y flow to AA, 4m training delay

PDT- Worst regional in the area. Unorganized, poor quality of life, 7-9y flow as of now and spiraling down, 3-6m training delay+6-8m training time (brother CA there)

XJT-Great training for first jet type (no delay), experienced CAs, downtown hotels, great benefits, looooong upgrade (family member senior FO)

P.S. Interviewed with all 4 with offers.
