Unfortunately, Mesa has downsized PHX and closed DEN (for the CRJ) so the only western Jet base is PHX, and it's real senior...you can hold RJ captain on the east coast about the same time you can hold rock-bottom PHX CRJ FO. The DHC-8 is based in PHX, GJT, and DEN, but there are only a few of them, and you would need to get assigned the -8 as a new hire...if they put you on the jet, there's no going back (usually).

OK! I'm not as computer savvy as you are. I wouldn't know where, how and what to start with in terms of the format for the poll.

Pinnacle: Norhtwest is done
ExpressJet: Continental just parked 69 of their jets. Unless they agree to pay the lease the flying is going to chataqua (from the mouth of a Cont 737 Capt i flew with yesterday)
Have you thought about Sky West or Horizon?

I'm sure that they will still come in and doing flying for CAL though to some degree.

No matter what else you do, don't be a Mesa scab!
SkyWest and Horizon pilots I've spoken to have good things to say about thier companies. ExpressJet guys say its good on the inside, but the interview selection process is... well it could be better. I've never heard a good word about Eagle, except that they're big. I'm not a big fan of Chataqua, but they are certainly whoring it out to everybody. PSA is wholly owned by US, so one positive is we've got a number on the Combined Eligibility List. So maybe in a few years the flow through works as promised and we move up to mainline. Or maybe the flow through evaporates with their next contract.
