As for the aircraft who knows, maybe non show up. A lot can happen when billions of dollars hang in the balance though, we are pawns in these chess games.

Pick whichever gives a good QOL, be smart with the little money you earn, have fun on the overnights, be cool to your coworkers, travel a bit, and pursue the next great opportunity when it comes.

If you refuse to look at the big picture here, then you are a HUGE part of the problem.

Compass is 100% company paid from our contract. Funny thing is a lot of our pilots don't even know it exists.
With the $20K increase in all payrates at Endeavor, I would probably put them above all the rest of the regionals with 50-seat aircraft that will be parked. In all honesty, they won't have issues attracting new hires any more. Skywest will have to follow suit otherwise their hiring will hit the wall. The question is, where will the money come from?

The irony though, the very same companies all of us want to one day be working for are the ones that are causing the inferno that seems to be "life at a regional" because they're greedy and do it because they can.
The yes and no votes that come up once in a while are simple formalities -- at the end of the day nobody really gets a vote and there is no win win, only what the majors want.
There's a game being played on you all. Play it right and get out. So much whining and finger pointing against fellow pilots who were put against the wall on a vote - so sad to see people gang up against eachother.
Things are changing for the better, every month it seems as if regionals keep upping the benefits to join them...just watch and see - things will finally get to where they should have been since day 1. They have no other choice, and that is new territory for once.

Things are great.

And sorry, but who are you to judge who is qualified to fly 121 and who is not? Last time I checked, the mins were 1500 hours - and not 500 like some regionals would hire at 5-10 years ago.

Which would provide better QOL
I live in San Francisco which airline would provide better QOL. Sfo skywest in would be on reserve forever and heard that compass all the new guys get a line very soon and The commute to sfo lax is cake.
Any inputs would appreciate it
QUOTE=saturn;1847171]Skywest has short and long term disibility. They do have better retirement and medical. They have a ton of 50 seaters which will fade out sometime, perhaps offset if they can find homes for the 250ish firm aircraft they have on order. Compass has explosive movement until the end of the year and few lifers. Lets pat all ourselves on the back and finish the cup of Koolaid. Both are subcontractors for major airlines whose very existence is based on being under compensated.
