I don't think the interviews make that determination though. Each one will give you the warm and fuzzies. You need to figure out what's important to you and compare how each stacks up. If you have a specific question about a specific carrier, ask on here and weigh your options.

I applied to nearly all regionals. However, I took my time, vetted each of them and their offers, weighing their QOL, pay and how happy their pilot group is.

Thanks everybody for the advice. I had 4 interviews scheduled, Republic, Skywest, Envoy, and Air Wisconsin.

Last week I interviewed with Republic first, then Skywest. Envoy and Air Wisconsin were next week. I received an job offer from Skywest the next day, but had to wait a week to hear from Republic with a job offer. Through two interviews I had seen enough, I knew Republic is where I wanted to work.

I called Skywest and thanked them for their consideration, but I would be withdrawing my acceptance of their CJO. The lady was nice about it and it was a pretty quick conversation.

Just a few months ago Skywest was my #1 list and really my only choice. But with no bonus and form what I hear a ****ty contract for new hires, they went down to #3 or 4 on my list. Even though Republic doesn't have the highest bonus, they have the highest first year pay, great routes, SAP is coming in a couple months, and a standardized fleet of ERJ 170/175s. All the factors combined including base made them the best fit for me.

I applied to 7 that I was interested in. I did 6 interviews and got 7 job offers. (I don't count a 10 min conversation on the phone 30 mins after submitting an application an interview.)

I am very glad I did multiple interviews. If you can afford to give up a couple of weeks or month (not getting a pay check), plan out the interviews and get a good idea of the companies that are out there and be able to distinguish the differences between them you'll be doing yourself a favor. The industry is way different than it used to be. If you have the hours and the ratings you will most likely get hired at any regional you choose.
