I would look at Skywest and even JetSuiteX (honestly if they had been in their current position a year ago, I would have thought very long and hard about applying there). You won't get PHX right off the bat at Skywest or at Mesa, but even at skywest the time is coming down. I got PHX about 6 months after my checkride (after watching it slowly drop historically from 2 years, to 18 months, to about a year). Some people even junior to me got in during that same vacancy bid.

The applications usually break out 121 time. But in this case, they're basically a tiny regional operating RJ's so I think it would be a wash. Except that when the computer scores your app it won't see any 121. But at an interview it should all be good.

Mesa and CommuteAir are the lowest paid regionals. We probably made more during the 300% era but that’s over for now. Mesa isn’t too bad it’s just that every other place is better. I think upgrade time is low everywhere which was Mesa’s main draw for a while and still kinda understaffed so reserve time isn’t too long. Speaking of reserve it does suck really bad here the company puts you on airport ready reserve everyday.
