If you go to Mesa, get the Ejet, you can easily fly on your own metal to IAH

Endeavor and make 50k. Tons of atl dtw flights. Can even commute in during your rsv period.

During reserve period? How is that supposed to work on short call

It does not, unless you were hanging out in ATL in full uniform ready to go in order to make the two hour call out.

Let's say that you live in Atlanta but don't end up flying for ExpressJet. What Regional would be best to work for? How easy would commuting be, considering the slew of flights out of ATL going everywhere..



I'm sure QOL while commuting can never be something to smile about though, right? Even with ample flights to list on...


Honestly commuting from Atlanta is a nightmare anywhere you go I think. There's always some crazy stand by lists there.

The commute in to base can fall in the call out period as long as you land by your show time

New loa at endeavor changed that you can land inside your call out period.

That's actually pretty nice. But I still foresee potential issues with actually getting on a flight when its time to go. Too many people to potentially bump you.

Although I have no clue what the demand for other Endeavor or Delta guys trying to jumpseat to MSP/DTW is typically

I did the IAH/HOU-ATL commute as a part 135 pilot with CASS for about four months, commuted weekly. Only once did I think I wasn't going to make it, but I did. The worst commute I've heard about is between ATL-DTW. Commuting isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be and will never be as bad as living in a place you hate, just so you can drive.

Compass is fine with this too, just call scheduling and let them know.
