For now considering Republic, Envoy, PSA, Horizon, Skywest, JSX, CommutAir, maybe Piedmont.
We're planning to move our family to where I will be based. Open to almost anything, except Chicago, New York, and Detroit. My partner has a wonderful remote job, so we are flexible.
Pay is really NOT that important to me. Seeing my family more often is MUCH more important to me. We accept the fact that being a pilot means being away from home, but trying to find a pilot job that minimizes that. I have 2 young kids. If I could spend at least 20 nights/month at home, I'd be very happy!
Thanks guys!
I wouldn’t move for a regional because bases open and close more often at the regionals vs the Majors. Pick the regional will try e closes bases to where you are and save the move to base idea for the Legency job. Unless you are okay with the potential of moving your family every time a base opens and closes at your regional…
