Bump, I am looking for long-term.
Friends/other pilots always told me: Skywest, Horizon (looking at West coast)
What's written on the forums nowadays and after jumpseating a few times... I don't know. Looks like fatigue is becoming more often an issue due staffing.
Friends at Mesa IAH seem to be happy. Should I....?

But the only people who are ever going to have good CA seniority in the west got hired 20 years ago, and most are not leaving. So plan on eventually moving on if you want QOL and money in the west. If you want to be a lifer in the east and live in base, that might work out.
