Default Mesa or skywest

I have an offer for skywest late October but am considering mesa if they can get me in early August. My ultimate goal is to be dfw based.
Pros and cons for skywest better pay, overall better Qol, but looking at several months of commuting before being able to hold a line at dfw.

Pro and cons of mesa probably hold dfw much faster, faster training date, and as of now probably faster upgrade times, but lower pay.

I think mesa would be the better choice and if ultimately it's not a good pick I could always apply direct captain to skywest once I had the time. Thoughts and opinions?

Honestly i think all these X vs Y posts are a sign that you can’t make a bad decision.. And a sign of people that can’t make there own education pick .. mesa 1.) . Pretty much half there flying contract is up this fall.. but mesa will keep you trying to get another job.. SkyWest 2.) 5100 pilots.. lots of choices but all west of the Mississippi are senior.. But you will have to push your way up that list and pay your dues with its jr eastern bases....
