sigh.. am I the only one depressed by this thread? Comparing regionals is like comparing prostitutes. How about a thread on the lowest paid hookers, that would be more interesting.

...and not IAW TOS and would lead to the deletion of your post and possibly the closing of the thread. So let's not take this thread down that road please!

This actually made me chuckle. C'mon CGT pilot, here at JB Express the four-leg, 5-hour block days sure feel an awful lot like working at a commuter... I like the blue shirts. Hide stains and wrinkles better.

No regionals are good. O yea and JetBlue is not a regional. You fly at the regionals to get to the majors simple as that.

My money is on Great Lakes! You get in, get out, and when you move on you're like the fat girl at the party, grateful for whatever you can get!
Oh and not a bad place to get turbine PIC either.

funny, Republic has to be close to the bottom (eg. $37 top FO pay, no trip guarantees, no retirement,...)

Bottom line, the best regional is the one that gets you to the next level the quickest. If that's not an option, the best one is where you can still make a life if you get stuck i.e. Jetblue, Soutwest, Airtran. And yes they're regionals that happen to fly bigger airplanes with somewhat bigger paychecks.
