Regional for career!
I know I'm going to get backlash here but my question is if one was to make a career at the regional and NOT advance to a major, what airline would it be? Or would it be better to go the corporate route? Thanks in advance!

Where do you want to live?
Do you think they'll be a regional that keeps its domicile open there long enough for you to make to retirement?
SkyWest has open and closed MKE, ATL, DFW, SMF, MRY, SBP, SBA, SAN, YUM, and a few others over the past couple decades. SAN just re-opened though but a bunch of lifers spent years commuting.
Look at ASA. Decades in ATL and that's coming to an end.

SkyWest is at least diversified in it's flying. DL, UA, AA, and AK. As opposed to a company with all of it's eggs in one basket. Air Wisconsin has been doing the airline shuffle the past 12 years.

I'm married and whoever I get hired with is where we'll go so I don't have to commute. Just seeing which regional would be suited for the long run. I guess like you guys mentioned already what base will I be able to safely plant down for 15-20 years? I guess a few of you said Skywest? Is it worth not being in union? How safe long term is that? WO AA's, best long term bases? Thanks for your guys input.
