Domicile is #1 for me. If my upgrade happens in 2 years or 4 I'm fine with that.

I chose my regional because they had the sweetest tasting Kool-aid. After that it was equipment (no 50 seaters), domiciles, and upgrade.

Quick upgrade (9 years ago)

1. First year pay-left higher paying job and have significant school loans.

2. Travel priority in commute/flight benefits-I'm not moving for a job)

3. Contract-average or better, with pay protections and cancellation pay.

It worked out well for me. Our contract is decent. I rarely have an issue getting to work, especially with our priority and time of check-in listing. I also didn't have to starve on first year pay...still put into 401k, etc.,.

Life is pretty good :)

Because mine had an all RJ fleet. I didn't want to risk going to Skywest or Eagle and get stuck flying a prop.

Good thing I'm not applying to be a sim instructor for 9E then.

Out of curiosity, how did you come to TSA being a bottom feeder?
