I'll be commuting to any of their bases. so base is not a big factor for me yet, I'm planning on commuting for 6 months (end of my current lease) and then I'll be probably moving to base.
my head is divided:
ENDEAVOR: best pay but I hear if you get the CRJ-200 is a death sentence.
ENVOY: nice pay good bonus but I really don't want the ERJ145, bases are the best
PSA: Gets ready of the CRJ-200 or ERJ145 problem, but I hear they are over staff, and bases are not great,
So any objective advice will be help full.
Envoy is getting rid of all the E145's by years end and perhaps even as early as October. A few weeks ago, I would have suggested that you skip Envoy, but considering that we are now finally getting paid for long sits, lost days and airport standby at least that is an improvement. As an FO you can expect to be on reserve for 3-4 months as of right now, but that may change. Miami, will have some of the best flying of the bases followed by Dallas just because of the quantity.
