Hard to believe that I am coming in third with the obvious answer. Gojet has been at the bottom since day one. I wish I had just stayed on unemployment. No jet is better than gojet. I like that, my new mantra.
Now you will see the management pilots come on here and tell you all how it is really not like it used to be, that things are better. But it is still bad. The owner is not going to change. Gojet at the bottom followed by Great Lakes.

LOL. Of all the regionals you are looking at the three of the worst regionals out there. I never thought Envoy would be listed among the bottom but we have definitely been left behind with the pay scale QOL and stagnation. So for now I guess we are one of the bottoms. Any ways, to answer you question of those four Envoy is the no brainier.
However, why not Endeavor, Skywest, or even air Wisconsin?
Where do you live? Are you planning on moving?

Good questions.
I don't see much of a connection between these choices except there is SOME domicile overlap. I hope this pilot has accessed each carriers websites, all of which have good info about pay, domiciles, incentives and other facts. Mesa, GoJet and Trans States have quick upgrades with their most junior captains hired anywhere from February to October 2015 according to their website info, so advancement potential is strong there as is the additional $ earned due to quicker upgrade projection vs. bonuses, etc. Envoy has a flow-thru to AA though, but a slow crawl to upgrade.
The other carriers are strong choices, but there must be some reason he/she is not targeting them.

Tuition can be up to $11,000. That goes to my loan. So basically the airline will pay part of my loan which is good. And if I got some sign bonus will be better!

Hello people,
I'm new in the forum. I'm still kinda looking for information about the Regional airlines, I'm planning to interview soon with one of them. Currently the ones that got my attention are Mesa Airlines, Trans State Airlines, Envoy and GoJet Airlines.
Any thoughts on which one is the best decision to go with? Any information about them? If they're growing or not, etc.
I know there should be a lot of opinions, like Mesa, most of the people say to run away from them, but I don't know if is true. I want to read your suggestions.
Thanks for the help!!!

GoJet has a terrible history from inception and bad reputation. You will have a hard time finding anything positive about them.
Trans States operates ONLY 145's and those are a dying fleet. As AA gets more larger RJ deliveries, 145's will have to be parked due to contractual scope limitations. Envoy is in the process of replacing them with 175's. So they are better insulated from that. Trans States and Air Wisconsin are at a HUGE risk for pain and shrinkage in the future years since all their eggs are in the small RJ basket. You can find more information about the AA scope limitations in some of the other recent envoy threads.
Mesa is terrible. One of the worst reputations in the industry for a long time. They are up down, all over the place with shrinkage, growth, downgrades, furloughs, quick upgrades again. Unpredictable. They hire multiple failure rejects OVER THE PHONE, and it shows. Some of the people there are probably fine, but many of them aren't due to them having zero hiring standards. I have seen personally guys that bust type rides and fail orals at Envoy then go straight to Mesa, to any normal airline that would be a huge red flag, but they don't care. Every day in DFW it is an embarrasment watching Mesa screw up everything. They can't even handle basic radio communications on the ramp. We were just joking about this before we departed DFW and of course the Mesa guy in front of us on the ramp did it again. Some guy with a horrible accent, bumbling up the radio, doesn't know how to reply to ground where he is. Transponder not on, taxi route read back completely wrong 3 times, then they turned on the wrong bridge for opposite direction traffic (luckily nobody was coming over the bridge the other direction) and they got a phone number to call tower, probably both got a violation because DFW ground was clearly frustrated and ****ed off. We see this type of crap happening over there so often it has become the daily running joke when we push back next to a Mesa flight to see what they are going to screw up next, and it pretty much never fails they do "something" stupid. It's ridiculous. Now way I would put my certificate on the line flying for that place with people that don't know what the hell is going on.
