There really are no other known differences that are stable over the next 12 months. Not sure you are understanding this. Things are changing so what is true today in regards to things that are "better" might very well be gone in under a year.

Just having a commute that is one flight away is not very telling. Which one has more/better flight options? Which one is served by company metal as opposed to offline or mainline metal? Getting the jumpseat on your own metal is huge! It usually means the difference between getting to work and not. Also, if it is mainline, is it served by a 737 (1 jumpseat) or an airbus (2 jumpseats)?

One leg commuting can suck right now with current flight loads and cancellation factors. That, and some cities not having early or late flights anymore can mean you having to come in the day before every assignment and not being able to leave until the day after an assignment.

Other than that, any "difference" that you may see could very likely be gone in a year anyways.

PSA has high reserve times right now evidently, but are likely going to be losing 50+ pilots per month and increasing. Envoy is probably about the same.

Just pick one. You will have no idea if you made the right choice until 2 years from now. That is the unfortunate part about this industry, you never know until the end of your career if you made the right choices or not.

Choosing one of the two is not an educated decision at this point. It is a gut feeling and a guess. Nothing more. Stay away from GoJet, Air Wisconsin, and Mesa, and pick one of the rest.
