Personal decision is your best option. First of all no regional base is safe forever. Once you get that in your psyche, you've taken the first step in the regionals. Whether its a ploy, stunt, or whatever. Bases come and go. If you own a home in SDF and WANT to be home DO IT. Commuting gets old period. WO's may have it better contractually right now hats off to them, but your flow time at PSA is 6 years good friend of mine is there right now, I don't know what Envoys is. Don't let anyone on these forums dictate your future. Some regional have great deals right now; flow, money, work rules ect. Key word "right now" my friend went PSA for money right now and FLOW in couple YEARs That works for my friend. For me it does not, I have seniority, easy commute, and I apply every where I'm and i am not locked into one system. Had few interviews with other major airlines as well. Mesa is ok. NOT best but not bad. QOL is important to me. I manage on what do here with a a well balanced home life. Some people are about FLOW and money. You have to pick and honestly that's the difference between regionals. Money, Flow, QOL and opportunity. It's all about rolling the dice. PSA on top today bottom tomorrow, who knows. Mesa well.... it's Mesa. There are opportunities here just like anywhere. Grass isnt always greener. I laid my own seed and I'm watching it grow. May not be that green to others but it's an OK green for me. That's all that matters
Finally an unbiased direct and truthful opinion posted in this forum. That’s exactly what it is...
For some people is about the money, for other people is about quality of life, for others is upgrade times... we all have our reasons to be or not to be here.

I also know CA’s that have moved on to Delta, United, Alaska, and FedEx recently.
Some folks aren’t qualified to move on to the majors or don’t work to make it happen. Others work hard to make it happen and end up moving on.

If you know approximates for all scenarios, that would be appreciated. I would probably do CRJ since I have a little bit of previous experience in it, but honestly, it's not a big deal which airframe for me. I'm interested in SDF as a base but since that base is not open yet it's probably hard to have numbers for it?

Until the assignments for SDF are finalized, no one really knows with certainty how junior or senior it will go. It may go senior for commuters in the area and the limited number of seats.
The Ejet is about a 22 month upgrade in IAH. I am guessing ATL will go senior because of commuters. Once that base is up and running, everything will realign. ATL will replace some of our UAX maintenance runs into ELP or OKC.
