As for QOL, It depends on what you get hired into. The CRJ has by far the best schedules. That is in transit though. There is a good chance that the DEN base will close within the next year. Frontier is looking for other carriers to do the JetExpress thing for cheaper and honestly, Horizon could use the planes back. As for the Q400, we just opened a SEA base, so that is mostly Montana flying and a little south into Cali. The Q200 guys get the worst of it. It is the norm to have 7 legs a day and a 13 hour work day. after 4 days of this you are hammered. Anyway, It is a regional. Work your butt off. Get paid better than most. Most advanced equipment. 5 years to the CA Q200, 7 years to CA of CRJ700. Great bases. Very Stable. That's the facts.
