Occasionally people mention this idea of something related to "culture"..... It's kinda silly, what would that even mean? There really is no such thing. Shouldn't even be on someones radar as something to consider. These regionals are just places to work at until you can get out onto your hopefully final seniority list. Your just an employee number there grinding it out. Then when you hit the line at your final career airline, there's no such thing as "culture" there either, even if the HR/management folks tout it. Your still just an employee number thats part of a big churning machine, and all these big churning airline machines are pretty much the same. This silly culture thing shouldn't be on anyone's list of things to investigate.
But in the modern era where everybody needs a trophy and nobodies feelings can be hurt, the HR folks will keep "culture" (both company and cockpit) within certain left and right lateral limits. I certainly wouldn't commute or take a seniority or pay hit over that issue today.
Look at SWA... their once famous culture has been commoditized to be just another cost-control weapon in management's quiver. I know a guy who chose SWA for that reason, and he had lots of shuttle time so he absolutely had his choice of airline employers.
