Trying to avoid the regionals? Are you qualified for a major? Are you worried about currency?

Skywest or compass seem to be the least hated. I was at PDT and RAH- avoid them if you can. For those of you saying to avoid all regionals- Thats not really helping- most guys looking at regionals dont have any other options. If you want to get to a major, you need prior 121 time. Corporate and mil guys can get in but yur NOT goin from CFI to UAL.

Also you do not need 121 time to get to a major. There was a guy in my new hire class at UA that was all part 91 flew citations, and I'm sure there are more than just him hired in the last year.

Where do you want to live? Or where is the easiest commute?

I think I am qualified but not really sure, over 4000TT 2000Jet but I lost my jet job a while back and have only been flight instructing so not sure if they would even look at me.

Compass has a DTW base too, and with all the movement anyone can hold any base right now.

Holy Smokes, what a no-brainer, anyone that worked at XJT or works there now would agree, stay as far away as possible from XJT. Any other airline out there would treat you better then XJT. Run forest run!
