Best Regional Travel/Overseas Travel benifits
I wasn't sure how to search for this, sorry if its a repost. I currently have 1300TT tons of night/xc/actual time and 22 multi. I work for a great flight school which I can MEI for or else do some time building to get my multi up. My end goal in UPS or FedEx or something international based.
I'm split on how to pick a regional to get with. I like Expressjet, Chataq, Republic,..etc. but I have no way to get a feel for employee benifits. I want to be able to travel as much as possible in my time off with my jump seat option. Any insight would be great.
Thx

Republic Holdings (Republic, Chautauqua, and Shuttle America), as a whole, flies for American, US Airways, United, Delta, Frontier, and Continental. (Did I miss any?)
If you're just looking for travel bene's, then that's the one I'd guess would have the best ones.

Look at pay scales, QOL, bases, etc. Chances are "traveling as much as possible on your days off" is going to be difficult on $20,000/yr.

While we do fly for all those (no, you didn't miss any) your travel benefits are predicated on your base and the codeshares that operate out of there. That means a Republic pilot based in PHL only gets US Airways benefits. The same Republic guy based in Denver would only get Frontier bennies. A 145 driver in CMH would get Delta, US Airways, and United (they also got CAL benefits when they were operating flights outta there). Aside from that, there's little quirks between each codeshare that makes their benefits either good or bad. I always leaned towards Delta and US Airways.

If you are not CASS, but your airline has a reciprocal agreement with XYZ airlines for int'l JS'ing, you would be able to JS on them anywhere they go, assuming there was a seat in the back open.
FedEx/UPS don't apply in the int'l situation.

I wouldn't pick a regional because of travel benefits. Also, I bet once you start flying, the last thing you want to do is get on another plane for 10 hrs. to go to Europe.
On my days off, I stay away from the airport as far as possible.
