Hi! So I have around 1400TT and it's time for me to choose the regional. I've been reading this forum for a while but still have problems with deciding where to go. I am looking for a regional where I can spend most of the nights at home (I have a newborn, want to help my wife). I know I wish for a lot... So, is there any airline which has mostly 1 or 2 day trips? I can sit on reserve for a while as well. My final goal is G4. We can move to any base we want, however we would prefer PHX, DFW or FL.(my wife is a CFI so any place with some flight schools would be great). Any advice would be appreciate. Thank you!
Gonna be tough for a while. You might be able to luck into a situation that allows that but the long-term cost might be vast in terms of opportunity and money.
But if you're set on G4 and can move to a junior base at least for a while, you'll be able to be home every night. Might have to suck it up to get there. Tens of thousands of airline pilots have kids, and manage to deal with overnight trips.
