Question American Eagle, ASA, Express Jet and TSA

This is similar to Lear55driver's Q but I appreciate some inputs.

If I had the option of getting a first officer position with any of the above airlines which one would be a smarter pick?
(I don't care so much about upgrade times or the type of aircraft they fly.)
Thank you in advance for your help.

i know you don't really care about upgrade times, but it might be something to think about if you are considering going to the major's. you're going to want that PIC turbine time and won't be able to get it unitl you upgrade. that being said... they only thing i really know is that you will probably be in a wheelchair before you get the chance to upgrade at American Eagle. from what i understand... their most junior captain was hired in 1998. i don't know about you but i don't want to be making 30-35 G's and being someone's "gear monkey" for 7 1/2 years. i'm not saying their a bad company or anything, but lets be honest here... we didn't choose this career path to be living in poverty for that long.

let me know if you hear anything else on the other's.

Best Regards,

I am based in Houston (IAH). You would most likely go to Newark (EWR) or Cleveland (CLE).
