Default Best Regional for DEN Domicile

Looking to get based in Denver. Looks like SkyWest, Trans States and Gojet are my options. Anyone have advice on which of these 3 would be better?

GoJet will probably lose their UAL -700 contract.

Ultimate goal is United or Southwest in DEN. I’m a C-130 Guard guy looking to build hours and get some 121 experience at a regional. Thanks

Is it relatively easy getting a guard c130 ANG spot? Looking at applying to guard units after SkyWest training.

If you need a job fast SkyWest... Trans States second. Third commute to Someone else... SWA seems to take lots of OO guys.

I wouldn’t say it’s easy. Lots of hoops to jump through to even get an application in. Hiring boards are usually held just once a year. Having said that it’s totally feasible to get hired if you have a 4 year degree and some flight experience but it does require some patience.

Awesome. I’m 22 so I got time on my side. Just want to something other than civilian airline jobs.

SkyWest. COS isn't much further which gives you two options that are driveable for 2hr short call from most of Denver. TSA/GoJet have questionable futures, could pack up shop and pull out of Denver at any time.
