But if you're going to commute, might as well commute for the highest paycheck.

Look it's trying to blend in

Dude has 2 posts. Either management or oblivious.

But if you do interview. Ask the recruiters when they are going to FUPM.

I would go with Mesa. The qol and reserve rules are on par with envoys and Mesa’s FO pay rates are higher than envoys.

The commute isn’t worth it.

Would you recommend over Mesa? Is there another regional you would specifically recommend?

Thanks!

Can you please not? K thanks.

If you get unlucky, you might get ORD 145 out of training at Envoy. Reserve there is currently around 8 months. If you want to transfer to DFW 145, the reserve there is over a year. Only way to break guarantee is to pick up OT, which means commuting to a job with 8 days off. Don't do it. Just don't.

Commuting to an average regional when you have a reasonable hometown regional (Skywest) would be borderline insane.
