Go over to their MB and ask them how they like it.
Thanks... I am on the boards constantly. I definitely am not looking to stay at a regional - degree is not an issue for me, I have 3 masters degrees. I think I’m very competitive for Frontier/Spirit, and at the low end of competitive for legacies. My military background makes me ‘maybe competitive for legacies’. A lot will change before I can start working (November), so I’ll continue to monitor and apply/interview everywhere. XJT and Mesa are at top for me because of bases I’m TX... I don’t kind the 145, but all things being equal, I’d take the 175 if I could, but not at the expense of long reserve time and not flying as much - which is why I’m not so big in Republic.
