The 190 is a narrow-body jet just like the DC-9. It is not a regional jet even though the ATA wants it to be to keep pilot wages down.

Is the best commuter the one with the blue shirts or the one with the orange airplanes?

I am waiting on someone to say GoJets. Too bad. I agree the last one you work for is the best.

Based on paychecks (which is definitely what I work for) the one with orange airplanes.

Well, the best regional is the one that provides me with the best job stability. A good contract and this and that is no good if you are furloughed. That being said and basing this comment on the information on the airline pilot central info. SKYWEST would be my pic. Almost 3k pilots and 0 furloughs I think shows some good working bases.

Thats just my opinion...but im sure theres a lot I'm not aware of.....so...

C ya!

I regret not going to the other regional(s); funny though, at the time the others didn't offer me a job. So I went with the one that offered a job. It's pretty good. Since I still have a job.

I agree. You're not in such a bad spot either.
