ASA is what you make of it....like most regionals I would think. I came here with 1200 hours and that made the training a bit easier. Howerver i talk to captains all the time that say they are amazed at how well some of these low time guys are doing. On the other hand...there are guys that probabaly should have built a little more time....and you will find this anywhere you go. Yes you are correct, the 200 right now i the best deal. Reserve time is 2-3 months and you can expect to fly about 80 hours or so once on the line. We just got a pay increase and are amoung the highest in the country right now (by about a dollar depending on what year of experience you are looking at). The people are friendly and im sure you can find something on your spare time to do in the Hotlanta. At the rate things are going now...i would say that the upgrade time is about just under 3 years....but dont quote me on that. All in all I love ASA and would recommend it to anyone.

Just keep in mind there are perks and downfalls about every regional. Make sure you sit down and list out these things and pick the one that you feel will suit you best, you can fit into, and is somewhere you would want to be for a few years.

Happy Hunting!
