Do any of you actually commute from or to ATL? I commute Chicago to ATL and between ORD and MDW and the 6 or so airlines that fly that route I have 35ish choices a day to get to work. It isn't bad at all. Now something like ATL-MCO or ATL-TPA would suck real bad.

If you're at an AA wholly owned your status is equal to mainline for every seat except an AA mainline Jumpseat. It's based on check-in. Something to consider, as being in-base is preferable.

You're basically an AA pilot when flying for a wholly owned!

I would second this. Endeavor should be your first choice by a long shot. ATL PHL isn't bad making PDT a good second choice.

Any info on Westcoats based regionals?

Currently living in Southern California would like to be able to commute out of LAX or ONT

I live in Virginia, and I am considering IAD and DCA based airlines for QOL. Of regionals based at IAD and DCA, I have narrowed it down to CommutAir, Republic, and PSA. Which of those three would be best? I don't care about equipment.

My general concern with Air Wisconsin, is that after their contract with United expires in five years, they probably won't be resigned with another carrier. I maybe see more long term stability in another company. Or, should I not be worried about that? I have heard good things about AWAC.
