I have been researching preliminary regional carriers for some time now and there is so much info out there that it is hard to know when to start applying for conditional offers and know the right route to take. I live in FLA and need to remain here for at least another 8 or 9 years so I will be commuting. Any advice would be great as far as carriers to look into, etc. or just good solid info. Many thanks in advance look forward to some great insight, thanks.
You don't even have your commercial yet. You are years away from looking into which regional may be best for you. The only thing that is certain about this industry is that it changes all the time. By the time you're ready to start applying for regionals, the landscape will look completely different than what it does now. You're a pilot, you wanna plan ahead; that's understandable. But honestly, you're way too early to even give this topic a thought.
