On the UAX side, I would be hard pressed to recommend Mesa until United CPA’s are renewed. There are still reasons to come here. It remains the best regional in IAH (for now).

don’t have to commute initially. UAX doesn’t really work for me. Compass is still on my radar. Only if I had a crystal ball.

If I lived in PHX, I would go to Compass. I would upgrade in LAX and transfer back to PHX when I could hold a line, or when I had been hired by a major.
At Mesa, you would likely be commuting to IAD for several months before transferring back to PHX. A very long commute. One that makes the Compass PHX to SEA commute look tame.
It depends on your goals and background.

They used to be the bottom of the barrel but from what I can see, pay and union contracts are getting better. I'm new at this part 121 thing and trying to do as much research as possible. Form what I can see on Flight Aware, the legs out of IAD don't seem to be that bad. Any insight would be very much appreciated.
