Looking for a regional

I live in Richmond and currently looking for advice on Regional carriers that would work out with staying in Richmond?

I know of PSA in Norfolk. Any others?

Look at this-
http://www.passrider.com

See what airlines are easy commutes and have more than one base with a single flight from RIC.
Maybe some with NYC bases?
RIC. What a crappy airport.

That's probably your best bet at a 92 mile drive. Still much better than a commute by air. Ask over on the PSA forum if it goes junior.

PSA has both ORF and DCA, which isn't that much longer of a drive from RIC.

United regionals out of IAD are another option.

United has 4 flights a day to IAD from RIC (and is drivable) and 6 a day to EWR.

CommutAir or Air Wisconsin might be worth looking at.

I wouldn’t touch Air wisconsin or Commutair. Both have an assortment of issues. PSA is probably the best bet out of there.

A UAL regional out of IAD would only be recommended if they have another base that’s an easy commute out of RIC. UAL has a history of terminating IAD contracts going back to ACA.
