Interviews (revisited)
Hey guys and gals,
Due to some unforseen events i've had to take 2 yrs off flyin the line.
I finally got all my stuff sorted out and am back in the market. I've been trying to keep my ear close to the ground and keep track of what's going on, but there's only so much you can do.....
I've got four interviews coming in 01.08 and would appreciate some input, as I am trying to get back in the seat and try to catch up with lost time
Skywest
Mesaba (SF340 CA)
Pinnacle (RJ CA)
What would be your guys' order of preference nowadays? If you could, please write down the reason as well
I'm sure it's changed since a couple of years ago.
Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone

Unless Skywest is offering CA position, if I were you I'd stick with either Mesaba or Pinnacle. I would pick Mesaba first because of QOL and if you don't get hired by Mesaba, go with Pinnacle. At both places you will get TPIC time, unless you have the SJS and must fly CRJ. Everyone I've talked to who flies Saab loves the aircraft and the cities they fly into. Plus, Saab drivers fly more so you will make more money.
If you have to live in a specific location, obviously give that some consideration. If you have a family, being a street captain will keep you on rock-bottom reserve for years to come. If I had a family (I do) I would avoid 9E period.
If you are planning on a regional career and want to live in the west, go to SKW. A few years in the right seat will not matter and your QOL will be good. First year pay will probably be raised 20% in the next few weeks.
