Of these 3 regional airlines??
 
Of these three regional airlines, Compass, ExpressJet, or Mesa, which is the fastest upgrade to Captain, pay, or QOL. Could some pilots who fly for these companies please give me their opinion of their employers. Thanks very much.

If you're an FO in in the 727 as your name implies, you should know better then to chase a quick upgrade

If upgrade is your goal.....not ExpressJet

Same question only GoJet instead of Mesa.

Compass is running about 4 years to upgrade right now, will go way down if these mythical flows to Delta actually happen. Pay is ok for regionals and contract has some pluses and minuses with the very big caveat that it is up for renewal with TSH and will be done with negotiations and have a new contract by Nov. New one in all likelihood will be worse than current one.

IF PSA gets the new airframes they've been talking about...would be quite quick here as well. Currently 6 year upgrade, could go down to 3 or less if we get 40 some odd airplanes.

For someone with 727 and part 135 time I would say none of them.

An experienced pilot shouldn't have to start over at the bottom of a regional airline for 20k a year.

Good luck.
