MCO New Hire. Where is the best regional ?
 
Living in Orlando. Would prefer to stay. Currently flying 135 in a PC12. Looking into going over to the 121 side. What's the best regional to go to with smallest commute from MCO.

Be advised: most commutes from Florida suck. Especially MCO.

-Silver has a MCO base.
-RAH has a MIA, but that commute is hard for a Non-WO carrier. Also RAH is in Bk, I would excersise caution.
-Xjet has a ATL on th CRJ side. I heard that commute is bad.

New York bases aren't that bad out of MCO, can get to both airports fairly easily.

Trans states has a RDU base and it's the most junior base. Don't know if anyone does that commute but it would seem easy.

Yeah I interviewed with GO JET who has RDU as a junior base. Compass, Republic, and Envoy. I'm not sure which one would be the best to go to. Would like to go somewhere that has an upgrade below 3 years, pays decent, and doesn't fly POS airplanes.

With your time you may be able to get on with frontier or allegiant. I know frontier's junior base is MCO.
