I'm looking for a decent regional carrier to work that works best for working from Saint Louis. I believe TSA is the obvious choice, but does anyone know of other regionals that would be a safe bet to get a STL base. Medical benefits are important, money not so much. Not looking to stay too long.

~2300 ME/TPIC

With your flight time have you thought about fractionals? Netjets and Citationshares would allow you to work out of STL and are great paying companies with good medical (Netjets medical is paid by company). As far as regionals go, I think TSA is the only one with a STL base.

I think he was trying to help you out. He is offering the best advice anyone in this industry can get. Get a 4 year college degree. I think a better question is what are your future plans in aviation without a 4 year college degree.

Do you plan on working for Comair for the rest of your life??

No I don't and I actually have almost enough credits for and AA. I do plan on getting my degree to futher advance my career. No I don't plan on working there for that long.

I am just tired of so many people coming off so condescending.

Chautauqua (republic) has a 140 base there. Just when you go to the interview tell them that you want to be on the 145 so that you can live in the stl base. once you get out of training if you dont get it right away youll get it in a month or two.
