Best Regional?
I know it's probably a silly question but if you had to pick a regional to fly for what would it be and why? This is actually a serious question that some insight would be great to have. It's being asked by quite a few transitioning mil guys that have about 2000-2500 hours with no 121 time. Reading each post for the individual companies it seems they all suck. So maybe the question should be which sucks the least and why? Thanks in advance.

Ask a guy named "RJ Pilot" - he'll tell you.
Incidentally, he is ALSO a GV captain!!! Seriously, go ask him. He currently is on a trip to an airport that closed a while ago. Good luck. |
If you are a mil GV AC with 2k+ time don't play around in the regionals. Certainly not one with a training contract. At least go to a LCC to get your 121 time before going to the big 3+1. Or get a GV job. If you are set on slumming with us here just live in base since you won't be here long. Commuting is horrible.

No such thing as "best regional" They all suck!!!
What's important to you??? Being based at home? Choose that one Want career progression, well maybe Compass, TSA and PSA. I say maybe because this industry is changing so fast that who knows if they will continue to hire at a rate that will make you a Capt. in the shortest amount of time. Will PSA still get all of those Envoy planes now that Envoy agreed to a TA? It's all a gamble. Want the most money year 1? Many regionals now pay hiring bonuses and Endeavor now claims to be the highest paying first year at approx. 40k with the retention bonus year 1 and 2. Bottom line, they all equally suck, pick the one that sucks the least for you. |
