I agree with this post the most... except I might put XJT at the top.

Everybody is hiring so it really depends on where you want to live.

As stated the companies with top contracts AND low upgrade times right now are XJT, SKW & Republic. Eagle's work rules are good and their upgrade time could be coming down significantly

You'll probably need to go to a group interview to get a call for SKW. XJT just takes a little time to process your application, I got a call after four weeks. I'm not sure of the timeline with Republic but I don't think you need an internal rec but I'm sure it would speed things up. I'm not sure about the process with Eagle

Get your stuff out there and then make your choice

Apply everywhere(except Gojets and Mesa)! Until offered a job, you don't have a choice to make.

Best Job to pick:

Company: McDonalds
Job: Burger Flipper
Location: Any

Starting pay is about the same. Progression to Assistant Manager and then Store Manager pays a little less than a CRJ Capt.

Prove yourself and wind up owning a store or two within ten years and make more than an AMR 777 Capt at an age well below what his is.

I'm sure QOL is high at McDonalds....

That lunch hour rush must be a sh!tload of fun....

Oh, I almost forgot the intriguing conversations you will have with your coworkers.....

XJT may not be so great right now because they could very well send you to LAX or ONT. Not a problem if you live out west and want to commute or already live there with your parents. Otherwise the cost of living will break you quick.

The west coast is strongly possible, but there is attrition in ALL bases and new FOs are being sent everywhere. 40+ CAs / month are leaving and the upgrade has gone below 2 years. Good stuff.

If you don't get your first base choice, folks are getting it within 3 months.
