In today’s hiring environment at the majors, there is a lot to be said for not even worrying about regional travel privileges, just flying your butt off, and getting a major seniority number a hundred more senior than you otherwise would have if you’d stayed an extra three months at the regional. Never in your flying career will 121 hours in your logbook be more valuable to you than they are today.
At the next level it’s seniority number that gives you the great schedules, best vacations, and most soft time, not memories of a week in Cancun when you were a regional FO.

Disagree. I’d take slightly lower priority to get employee privileges at all three legacies, AA, DL, UA. Gets you everywhere with often multiple options. At Republic every pilot is eligible for all three regardless of base (unlike Skywest).

I choose the best most easiest option that had a high chances of sitting first class. It worked out great.
