Which regional to pick ?
I have offers for Mesa , Gojet and Envoy. Mesa and Envoy are offering bonuses. I want to build my turbine time and upgrade fast. I don’t want to be sitting around waiting for IOE. All the bases work for me but I’m curious to see which of the 3 in everyone’s opinion would be best for flying and upgrading.

GoJet is obviously the worst choice, hands down.
Mesa is the cockroach that will just not die, but it is trying to diversify it's flying (door dash drones?). Envoy is a WO and will have the best in stability.

You say 2+yrs from upgrade, does that mean you believe hiring at the legacies and LCCs will slow way down in the next 6-8yrs possibly sooner? Or, what are your predictions? I’m not at an airline, but would like to begin applying to places again.

Silver lining is that *somebody* will hire you immediately at that point, or you will get transferred with your planes to a new regional. Unlike 2020/covid if regionals are failing due to industry-wide staffing shortages there's not going to be entire pilot groups cast adrift with no employment prospects.
