I see a lot of miserable mainline CA's so that is not always true. Personally id rather live in base with max days off.

1) Commute?
2) Pay?



Answer those, and you'll have your answer.

Well there's the "props are for boats" argument, but some people do fall on the "jets are for hot tubs" side of the debate. But then again "boots are for cowboys" which could be taken either way depending whether or not you think cowboys are cool. Point, set, match. Good talk.

In an ideal world, a major airline would prefer to hire a candidate with experience that most closely resembles their own operations. That might mean jet engines, glass, fms. But airlines may not have that luxury in the coming years.

My advice would be to choose a regional airline that you would be ok with spending the rest of your career at. Nothing is for certain.

whichever gets you PIC in the respective equipment fastest.

YES: Turboprop PIC soon

NO: RJ right seat for unknown years

B1900 PIC is better than jungle jet SIC

They seem to like single engine, single pilot, F-16 drivers....

(sarcastic, but you get my point)
