As much as I hate to tout Mesa right now, bc our current contract and new TA suck, DFW is our biggest operation and most junior base on both the CA and FO sides. Don't think its going anywhere anytime soon.
I would pick a regional you don't have to commute to, which is the only reason I chose Mesa. Commuting negates most if not all other marginal improvements one regional may have over another

Not familiar with what a descent operator is, but what regional is "decent?" enough to commute out of DFW to? Name whatever ones you want and I'll list several problems at each. SKW? CPZ? XJT? There are no good regionals. Every regional has its pros/cons and the difference in pay is not enough at any of them to make a commute worth it. I'd rather drive to a job flipping burgers than commute to a poverty wage job.

How many regionals have you worked for? Do you know what it's like to work somewhere else?

Who's chasing??? There's tons of Regionals with less then 2 year upgrades.
First I'd chase the regional that had a base where I lived. Second I'd not chase a regional that didn't have a 4 year upgrade since the majors are hiring like gang busters over then next 5 years.
SkyWest is a great airline. I don't know his background but it sounds like he's older since he said he's a 9/11 pilot and I wouldn't waist my time with a long upgrade unless it was a regional that had a base near I live.
Maybe it was just flame right???
