help on deciding regional
Location does not matter willing to move to any base for QOL and flight time. Been looking at envoy, skywest, psa, horizon, republic, piedmont, and gojet. What would be the best option in terms of flight time, stability, and upgrades?

If you're willing to move, probably try an AA WO with fast upgrade and adequate QOL. You'll most likely be able to move on within 4-5 years, but if that doesn't pan out the flow is an eventual safety net.

PSA has best QOL do to SAP and an increasing flow and more basing opportunities.
Envoy Has longer flow and less QOL than PSA.
Republic has decent QOL and pay gets good in the next 2 years.
Skywest has decent QOL but lower pay with 1% increases for the future and a lot of movement on the seniority list due to attrition.
Horizon has some partnership with Alaska but has been plagued by staffing issues.
Gojet has a partnership with Spirit but it’s not large or Owned by a major airline so that may affect stability long term.

Skywest: koolaid is better than pay/QOL
PSA: decent pay, contract, movement
Horizon: concede to OO; anything for AS
Republic: good contract, bases, fleet, decent pay, movement
Piedmont: quick movement, #3 WO
Gojet: scab airline
Endeavor: high pay, stable, good movement
Compass: republic of the west, unknown future
Air Wisc: good benefits, unknown future
To answer your question IMO:
Top Picks: PSA, RAH, PDT, EDV, CPZ
Avoid: TSA, XJT, Mesa, C5
