Whats the best regional?
 
This isnt bait, just wondering if anyone regrets goin with one company after seeing how another functions.

define your question...depends on how you view best... Best performing:
PNCL/SKWST
Best Contract? I like Air Whisky
Best FA's? Toughy

My regional is better than your regional.

Whats the best regional?
The one you are able to leave for a legacy carrier, and the sooner the better.

Think of them like high school: best enjoyed in the rear-view mirror.

If I get a Pony... I gotta say mine has something NO other regional has..

Speaking on a more "serious and realistic" term I think there are a few great contracts, and pretty much each regional having 1 or 2 GREAT sections.

I like AWAC and XJet without concessions, I also like the FDX contract, and while we are at it the contracts from carriers flying the CR9 in what was known as a DC9-10 about 10-15 years ago. If you want to feel bad go look those up....and compare the rates and rules to what the aircraft of that size is operated at now by "regionals" that are operating routes that are only "regional" if states are continents.

From what I've seen, there are three types of FA's. I like to call them the three G's: Ghetto, Granny, and Gay. :D

With that said, trying to decide the Best FA's amongst the Regional carriers is like... well, it's a waste of time. Granted a few misguided hotties do stumble through once and a while, usually for very short periods of time.
