Mesa, PSA or SKW?
Where would you go between these 3?
Mesa may be the "worst" but would be a no commute.
SKW is the "best" but I will be sitting reserve for a long time, commuting and right seat for many years.
Objective replies please... Thanks all!

Easy decision. No Commute=No Hassles getting to work. Mesa will probably have the fastest upgrade. Get in, get your time and get out. The hiring at the Majors may last a long time but it will not last forever

Whatever is the best fit for you. If the industry hits the can tomorrow, where do you want to be? Plus TPIC time does not mean as much as it used to. Look at XJT attrition and tell me why there is an equal amount of FOs going to mainline as captains?

I personally chose SKW between those 3. So far I've been happy. Everyones milage will vary. IMO, take the no commute. But then look at the health of the company. I, personally, wouldn't touch Mesa with a 400 foot pole. GoJet with a 500 foot pole.

By the way, I'm not saying GJ is a bad airline with lousy crews - I know some great guys who work there (including some of the office staff) and they are trying to improve things (at least the pilot group is). But it is a fact that their contract has holes big enough to drive a semi through because of the loose language and unfortunately that DOES impact a person's QOL because scheduling et. al WILL play in the "grey" areas.
It's just how it is.
