Flight Benefits at your Regional?
I wish I had delta bennies, I think they are the best. But delta benefits aren't woth commuting or the pay/qol cuts I would take by jumping ship tp a carrier that could give me them.
United benefits are kinda meh, and AA benefits are almost completely useless if you are at a non-wholly-owned (I wish I could get US Airways bennies back!)

Uhhhh....ever heard of Endeavor? Or even Compass? Both have high pay. Don't know anything about you but Endeavor has a junior east coast base and Compass has a junior west coast base. Both offer Delta benefits, with Endeavor having the best as they are wholly-owned. Again, don't know anything about you but if you're very junior, jumping ship to either one wouldn't cause you to have huge pay cuts and a bad QOL.

I love how all you wholly owned guys tout that you have the best bennies. At Skywest, depending on where you're based, you have United, Delta, Alaska, and American. I would argue that having that flexibility is way better than having a little better priority on ONE carrier.

To each his own I guess. While I think it's pretty ludicrous to even consider flight benefits as a factor when considering where to go, I have gotten my family all over the country on all of our partners. While I really miss the airways bennies, I'll take what we've got and use it to the fullest extent possible.

I have only been bumped once. It was from a jumpseat on mainline metal by a mainline pilot. And depending on where you are commuting from/to, there is usually more than one flight every six hours. Between where I live and the hub I work out of, there is a flight roughly every 2 hours. I'm easily able to commute in day of and come home the day my trip ends most of the time. There are a lot of benefits to working for a WO if you're a commuter. And I still have the ability to get home on either Delta or United or Southwest or whomever just like everyone else.

As has been said before... Picking a regional based on flight benefits is silly. If you plan on commuting, then I may consider a WO regional. If you are single, just move to base.

Yep, Stupid move. Won't argue with you there. Even more stupid than thinking that Skywest somehow has better flight benefits than an American wholly owned does. So congrats! You are only one step above me on the stupid scale.
And I wish my prison sentence at Mesa has been short. Sad to say I've been here for a few years and what used to be bad has grown to intolerable. I guess all those pamphlets advertising "get in, get your time, get out" were not so true. Who would've known, right?
