Default RAH or EAGLE

this will be my first 121 job and i have been offered both places. im having a hard time deciding where to go, i live near ORD which would mean commuting with RAH to indy or STL. what are the crash pads like in indy or STL? any info on eagle would be good are the upgrade times coming down. any info on either would be great the good and the bad.

What RAH certificate did you get. Shuttle has an ORD base.

Regardless, I'd still go with CHQ.. who wants to wait 5-10+ years to upgrade; even if you can live in base.

The commute from ORD to either STL or IND should be doable. Lots of flights to STL. The drive to either would be reasonable.

Um, guys who DON'T have a sense of entitlement. That's who.

Determine your priorities among these factors:

1) Where you'd be living/based and commuting issues
2) Pay/Work rules
3) Equipment
4) Industry reputation
5) Expected career progression/upgrade/where people go when they leave
6) How well others like working for each company
7) How well you think the company will fare in this dog eat dog world (usually anybody's guess, but use your crystal ball if you have it)

See which one does the best among your top priorities. Remember what is right for others is not necessarily right for you. Good luck.

That is one of the most idiotic statements that I have read in a long time.
