So if both are lousy commutes you've gotta ask yourself what's more important. You'll probably fly more on the ATR at Eagle vs more reserve on the jet at Pinnacle. So if building your time is still important you might think of that. Also, 90 hours of ATR time plus per diem is probably more dough than 75 hours of guarantee sitting reserve on a 200. Upgrade time is a crapshoot everywhere, but there may be an advantage on the prop. I have a friend flying the ATR out of SJU and he sure had a fun time posting beach pictures to facebook in the middle of a harsh winter up north. I find myself in a similar predicament. It's a good problem to have, but there are a lot of factors that make it harder than just a black and white decision. Pay, QOL...what's most important to you?
