Compass. XJT is swirling the toilet bowl due to mismanagement and extremely high costs relative to the other regionals. 50 seaters (CRJ and ERJ) are going away over the next few years with no replacements slated. Displacements, downgrades and even furloughs loom on the horizon within a year or two. You will not hold ATL. ATL will most certainly continue to shrink and become more senior. It's already the most senior base on the CRJ side. Junior bases are DTW, IAD, MCI.
Compass will have a fast upgrade because the Delta flow throughs are about to leave. Despite being owned by Trans States, they haven't been bent over yet.

I'm currently one year in on the L-ASA side of things at Xjt and have an interview at CPZ in one week. Seriously considering leaving, but my conditions are:
1) Shorter upgrade time (3 years ideal)
2) Better management (can't stand how XJT runs things)
3) Hot flight attendants
Okay, I'll take 2 of those 3 if push comes to shove!

2) Trans States Holdings is freaking amateur hour, but they've mostly left us alone other than foisting our idiot DO on us. He's the former Trans States chief pilot, the one who tried to take off on one engine and then lied about it and got his license suspended for a month. He was also known for displaying all the IDs of the pilots he had fired in his office. A real gem, that one. Other than him, Compass management is reasonably competent for the regionals, and our chief pilots are actually fantastic. The system chief is the best I've ever worked under, and both assistant chiefs are good guys.
3) Sorry, you're gonna be disappointed. We have some fun crews, though, I've had some great overnights here.
