Thanks guys.
Tough one, but I'd say ASA. Delta is looking up a little and if you ever wanted to put your faith in airline management, put it in Skywest (they own ASA).
XJT is a good company, but they may or may not downsize...you could take a chance and if you get furloughed with a few 100 hours of RJ time, someone else will hire you.
Take into account where you want to live, and where you would likely be based...the difference between the very best and very worst regionals is irrelevant if you throw in a 2-3 leg, 2000 mile commute.
