Immediate classes & lots of flying
 

Wondering which regionals would offer a class like right away (more or less) and also have tons of flying. Ideally a nice upgrade time too. Granted you can't have everything in this life but....maybe a decent equilibrium of the things asked up there.

Thanks

One word: Mesa

I feel like that needs more then one word though..

Besides Mesa, maybe trans states. Skywest is probly a few months out. Republic and Endeavor likely much longer.
Not sure about PSA.

Last I heard from a friend ERJ at Skywest is into 2020 now and CRJ is November start dates but you can wait list and maybe get a class date sooner.

PSA you’d be luck to hit 200 hours in 12 months. Lotta reserve

Compass - lots of movement, minimal reserve time, fly your tail off the day after you finish OE. Cons: class dates might be somewhat longer like everyone else, and you’re rolling the dice with the contracts. < contrary to the doom and gloom all over 9E and ENY forums, compass will keep flying into we’ll into 2020 and through 2023.

^^^^^
This. Have 6 month coming up in the next few weeks and will be north of 400 hours. Also already holding a line.

Mesa.

Bid the CRJ (Instead of the Ejet) for the larger bonus, get an immediate class date (mine was 9 days after the offer), 3 months of training in PHX and on the line. 300% open-time trips being offered probably throughout the whole summer.

And upgrades are available when you have the required flight time. No waiting for your seniority to hold it.

It seems Mesa offers classes the fastest compared to others out there. First year with the bonus must be OK, but second year after looking at the payscale, must be a hard one.
