RAH makes Mesa look pretty decent

Well he'll have a ton of pilots that developed bad habits since you have to have an ATP to get hired.

Take it from someone who's been there. When I was hired almost 8 years in 2007, being the oldest in my class, therefore having "seniority" in my class, I was "almost" assured I would get Indy as home base as it was a fairly easy drive for me to make once a week. (I live two hours to the north). When all was said and done, three days before training was complete, I resigned because among other things, I learned I was to be based in Buffalo. Try commuting from Buffalo to Chicago in a reasonable amount of time. Long upgrade times (they told us when hired upgrades were averaging 12-14 months). Okay, I know I'm going to get some flak, but, I know I made the right decision. I did not continue on in 121. So be it.

I'm at Mesa, I was at RAH.

Let's just say RAH makes Mesa feel like mainline.

Now that's saying a lot.

Commuting costs money....and it all adds up at the end of the month. I think it's all how you look at it....if your plan is to get in and get out asap, it doesn't matter who you go with....

Said a bunch of 7 and 8 year FO's at some regionals, recently once upon a time.

Of course things are quite a bit different now ..... hopefully.

Are we talking Legacy airline mainline or Skywest mainline?

I know APC is your cathartic release but try not to be a douche.
