Why on earth would you even contemplate that commute? So many better options.

You talking to me?

No definitely not. I was talking to prospective new hires. Raw deal for you.

If you have masochistic tendencies, Mesa is the place to be!

You should totally go there :cool:

Don't commute to reserve.

You should only seriously consider Mesa if you have a really bad record (i.e. multiple terminations/checkride failures/DUIs/violations/incidents). They are still an airline of last resort, they know it, and treat their employees accordingly.

Otherwise take SkyWest if you value living in base (they are taking over a fair amount of the Compass flying in MSP, so there will be quicker advancement).

If you value more $$$, take Endeavour, although you will spend much of that extra pay on hotels and crashpads until you can hold MSP. Also, flying on the East Coast will make you a better pilot.
