Best Regional for commuting out of OKC
 

Looking for insight as to what might be my best option (Regional) if I commute out of OKC. Currently looking at Republic, Mesa, and Skywest. I appreciate the help.

im at compass and I’ve never not made a commute for lack of seats to lax. You’ll be the only compass guy on compass equipment.

She is not to bad as you can drive it easily if you have to.

Ord was doable. Not the best but lots of flights. Lots of commuters, though.

Any regional that has a junior base with non stop flights to OKC.

FLIGHTS being the operative word. If they have one r/t a day with a 6a departure and 6p return and you are on reserve in XYZ from 0500-1900 that doesn't help much.

SkyWest is opening a MX base there. (Largest hanger will have) that doesn’t guarantee a pilot base. But it does guarantee that large number of aircraft overnighting there for SkyWest. So you would be commuting on “own” metal and getting OKC overnights. I have a 4 day with 2 overnights there this month...

Honestly if I was a new hire FO and commuting was my number 1 priority I’d choose Skywest. They have bases in the 4 easiest commutes (DEN, DFW, ORD, and IAH) plus an outside chance of a small OKC base in the future.
