Smile Choosing between Envoy, Skywest and Republic

Greetings everyone on the thread,

I’d like to start off by sharing some information about myself. I’m currently an instructor applying to airlines while working towards my 1500 hours. Living in New York wanting to stay in New York. That being said, I have 3 regionals in mind. Envoy, Skywest and Republic have bases in New York but I understand Envoy isn’t offering the base at this moment. Republic has a base in New York but the ties to the majors aren’t as solid as Envoys. I have also heard that the base for Skywest in New York is not doing so well. I’m having a hard time deciding between the three in order to be able to live in New York with either my base being at home or somewhere relatively easy to commute to and from.

The question would be which airline you guys would recommend that would best benefit someone wanting to live in New York either having to commute or not. (lifestyle over pay)

Guessing he means no 10 year flow at Republic?

Sorry, I was talking about the flow but I know the flow is not something to rely on since it takes far too long.

I don't see Skywest staying in LGA by next summer, and the QOL at Republic is much higher than Envoy.

Republic and Endeavor are the only ones I would be looking at if you want NYC, but you do you, man.

Republic, right now, is a better deal.
Who knows what happens in the future.

The regionals change within a month which is why I’ve been holding off signing with one but I’m getting close to my 1500 so the time is now. Thanks for the insight.

I suggest you take OO off your list if you want to stay in New York. Pretty solid chance that base is gone this time next year as flying shifts out west. I would go to Republic or Endeavor depending on class date availability if I were you.
