So why not make a little more money, and possibly upgrade in a couple years while waiting to "see what happens".
He can always leave if he feels like there's a superior contract to be had and in the meantime he can enjoy more QoL and probably more pay than a prop airline.
It's also possible this guy lives in CLT, which would make it a no-brainer.

The majority of your fleet are 50 seaters. A year plus on reserve isn't what I would call a good qol with horrible first year pay. Fast upgrade at PSA is just hope right now. He might as well go to Mesa for the quick upgrade. Plus they are in negotiations for a new contract.
Or maybe he will like living in base at PSA and perhaps he gets lucky and our forecasted growth comes to fruition.
Either way, by his own admission he isn't going anywhere at his current gig.
It's not always about "this airline is better than that airline".

I agree that if he lives in CLT, PSA might be the best option. What I don't agree with is what you said below:
This is pointless. Why should anyone keep jumping from one regional to the next? Constantly on first year pay and always at the bottom of the list.
What looks good today might not be there a couple of years from now. Get on with someone where you can have a good QOL for the SHORT time you will be there.

That is pretty much true... If I'm going to be stuck for however long, I'd rather be stuck at a place that is decent and I like being at. After being at Mesa, I can promise you there's a huge difference!

Thanks everyone for the help and hopefully we all have good fortune in these difficult career decisions.

I would live in CLT if I choose to go to PSA. And yes I am a little apprehensive about how much movement to expect vs other regionals but I want the carrier with the most potential for a quicker upgrade. If new birds happen this would be a great place to be.
I have applied to Mesa as well. I am trying to upgrade as fast as possible. A 2 year upgrade at psa or Mesa vs a 5-7 year upgrade at skywest means years more at captain pay and pads the resume with PIC to help me be competitive major airlines much faster.
