Default Eagle, ExpressJet or Compass?

I have been trying to avoid the regionals for a while now but it looks like I might be running out of options. What regional would you look into?

At this point and time compass. Possible mass movement happening soon and not a horrible contract that's rumored to get better.

How is the average compass applicant compared to other regionals? I've "heard" that it's tough for someone with only CFI experience to get hired there.

Anyone can get hired anywhere at any time it doesn't matter what your qualifications are. Apply, study, work hard and get to know people. Let the airline make the decision about you don't do their job for them.

And to answer the question of the original poster if you are flying lears and challengers why even consider the regionals? Spirt is hiring like crazy and Jet Blue sounds like they are in bad shape. Save yourself the pain and heartache and skip the regionals.

Unless you are out of a job then that is a different story. In such a case I would say Skywest or Compass are the least likely to give you a stroke.

I'm at XJT and have an interview coming up with CPZ. Things at XJT are very stagnant as of now.

The LXJT side isn't. Unfortunately it's luck of draw which side they offer to you but chances are better on the side that is hiring and upgrading more. At least as of now.

Compass, EXJ. are good choices. Quicker upgrades and your chances of getting your career ruined are slim to none.
