Best QOL re: Sched/Salary as FO
Which regional can offer the choicest morsel of a schedule, with decent pay quickly, for FO's.
Captain upgrade time not a factor, at all. Let's say the economy tanks again... where would you want to be for the next five years in the right seat?

The one that has a large hub in the same city you live in... and even that is a crap shoot. (see Comair/CVG)

Without a doubt, living in base is the single most significant QOL factor there is. It trumps a lot of things, including significant differences in pay. There is NOTHING like sitting reserve at home when you are junior. Or by choice when senior when you want a break.
Either be in a stage of life where you can be mobile, and happy to pick up and move, or go for the place most likely to have a long term base close to your home, ideally within short call reserve callout.
