The point I'm trying to make is that joining any specific regional airline is a crapshoot--always--especially at a carrier with any significant number of 50-seaters.
Choosing a regional based on domiciles or contract terms is bound to lead to disappointment at some point. We learned that in a dramatic fashion at 9e/Endeavor, and anyone on property at Mesa during the bankruptcy knows that also.
I'm sure some of the Mesa new hires who came here for the CLT domicile, thinking it was best for their family, are learning this important lesson--take nothing for granted--ever--get your time and GTFO.

Know your restrictions as an FO with less than 100 hours in the airplane. Review 3585 and the 1 nav 2 nav rule, but FOs aren't getting much on GOM stuff. Know what the items are on the walk around slides. That's it in a nutshell. PM me if you want more.
