PSA or ExpressJet
First time posting here, looking for some guidance as I near ATP mins. I was looking forward to going with PSA but after reading around here I知 reconsidering. I have a already established I値l commute no matter what from where I live and all I want during my time at a regional is a quick upgrade, fly alongside positive people and little to no reserve time. From my understanding PSA will allow you to upgrade but force you to another domicile?

Positive people? No meaningful difference between one regional or another. Be the light you want to see in the world
How about Silver?
Now ... PSA has hired a gazillion people in the last two years. Could well be a different game for new hires today.

DAB is very tough to commute out of. Orlando is pretty easy. I live in Ocala and go out of GNV and a lot of time I have to go home to MCO. I asked myself this question last year. I ended up going to Skywest for the Atlanta base one legged commute with fast upgrade and very happy I did. In 10 months I have over 600 hours and making much better money then I ever expected. Best of luck in your decision but I would avoid Expressjet. Do you research? I had a interview with PSA and turned them down for Skywest. Only you can make the choice.

I've been here for a couple of months now and still enjoy it. I live in base so that helps with reserve. All but 1-2 captains I have been with were great and I look forward to flying with them again. We have relatively young captains especially compared to Expressjet, but who knows if that'll continue.
I have friends at Endeavor who chased the pay and have been sitting in a crashpad in NY ever since. I end up taking home more than they do after all the crashpad and commuting expenses...plus I don't have to deal with LGA/JFK on a daily basis
You'll likely be happy wherever you end up. Especially on these forums, the grass is always greener somewhere else...

Yeah I hear you on chasing the higher pay. I just want to be comfortable being a captain rather than saying you have the time now have at it, plus a company that respects that. My end goal is JetBlue or Spirit being that eventually I can hold MCO and be home. I don稚 care for flow and extra money. I have CJOs from several regionals I知
