if you can live in base, that has a huge cost value as well as QOL. I would avoid Silver/Lakes even if in base since the pay and work rules blow, same with Commutair. If you can work for Skywest/Expressjet/ASA and live in base thats my advice. Airwilly is ok, but keep in mind they only have 50 seat jets, and the contract ends in 2015. They also have an insanely high cost structure, which the industry has shown is not a good thing for an RJ airline. Great pay, Great Workrules, Great airplanes, Great MX.....that means your ripe pickin for a place with low pay, crud work rules, old planes, and shady MX! Honestly I am surprised TSA shrunk!

DMB,
I never questioned you not knowing what it is like to fly for a regional. I was referring to the point that you seem to know me and to have met me, which you have not and therefore have no knowledge of. It's funny how regional pilots can ***** and moan all day long about their jobs and that's ok, but if I say something negative because of first hand experience it is suddenly whining and trolling. I guess you have only ever posted in the regional forums since you seem to infer that because I no longer work at a regional, I am no longer allowed to post an opinion here. Finally, for the SECOND time, I have no hatred towards regional pilots because many friends of mine fly for several. Now be a big boy and work on your reading comprehension.
