Default Best regional jet outfit for a new FO?

I know this may sound like a complete oxymoron, but in your opinion who is the best regional for a new FO to work for?

Bonus question, Who is the most military friendly in the event Mil leave is needed?

Seriously? There are about 10 threads with the same subject matter. Cue the psa/envoy usuals...

#1 thing that makes a regional the best is if they have a base where you don't commute. Beyond that, none are great. Where do you live? Where would you be willing to move to? All will give you the time for military, it's required by law.

Work where you live. If you have a choice on more than one airline in your city, then a little research will help you make the right decision.

Unless you live in a Republic base...if that's the case, I recommend commuting.

That's really like asking what's the best place on earth to live. Everyone's situation is different and there are far too many variables to give recommendations. My suggestion is to look at the pay scales, the ones with bases closest to you or ones you'd be okay moving to and then read everything single post in every thread about them.

Bonus answer: all of them are required, by law, to give you military absenses without retribution. I don't know that any have better perks than others.

Best outfit...cut above shirts and avoid pleated pants. Wear your hat and undershirts.

The one that you don't have to commute.
