Surprised I didn't see it posted yet....
Deadhead pay.
I know of a GoJet crew that was on 2 of my deadheads, and they had 1 more after that for a total of 3 that day just to get back to domicile. If I recall correctly, they came out of the Texas area (IAH maybe?) to DTW or MSP (can't remember), then deadheaded on my flight to PIT, then next up was PIT to LGA. All at 50% pay.

Idiot pilots chasing a theoretical upgrade time is why our compensation and quality of life in the regional industry is as pathetic as it is. It's absolutely moronic that we keep doing this. Effort would be much better spent on finding a company where you can network with many pilots who are on a path that you want to follow. Take a look at where the majority of the attrition is going, and weigh that against other options. I'm living proof that if you do this, you can go to the regional with an upgrade time over a decade, and still make some pretty good progress in a reasonably short period of time.

That's why I went to Horizon! Got tired of blue pants and 3 vowels and 4 consonants is a solid ratio.
In all seriousness though, amidst the doom and gloom here lately it is nice to hear about people moving on the bigger and better. How many job fairs and LOR's did you do/have?

In order of importance:
1) Bases, ( because you'll want to live in base)
2) Bases, (because if you can't live in base, you'll want the easiest commute)
3) Bases, (because you don't want to end up in a lousy, uncommuntable base)
4) Projected upgrade time.
So yeah. Bases and upgrade time.

Make your regional experience immensely better. Upgrade is important and flow to a major if you can but not commuting in a town you like will be the single best QOL thing you will do.
