Take everything hotmammapilot says with a grain of salt, not everyone flying RJ's has terrible QOL, and hates their company. She's upset that RJ's are flying national routes, as am I, however she blames RJ pilots for it. I'm sure if you read enough of her posts she can probably link the plague outbreak in the middle ages to RJ pilots. However if regionals is the route you decide on, SkyWest is definetily for you, Junior Brasilia captain was hired this past summer, and with our growth, jet captain isn't going to be far behind. I believe it's going about 16-18 months at the moment. First year pay is really bad, but second year F/O is up there with the best of them. If you're looking for your Jet PIC so you can hop on with southwest, I think it's a great choice.
