Nothing like trying to summarize complex contracts and unique offerings between different companies in the space of a tweet....and getting it wrong. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.
By the way, why on earth did you choose something as useless and obscure as per diem as a discriminator and yet leave out more important things like pay rates and pay protections?

You are an example of why this forum stinks, and why pilots are a bunch of babies who shouldn't be trusted.

The point being, there is already a decent post with accurate information on this board and contains some stuff people should care about. Not a single person should choose a regional based on pilot size and per diem and new hire bonus.... especially considering over half his information was wrong in the first place

You're just think he favored Envoy, RAH and Skywest over "tran states". He's right, we don't offer any flow, pref hiring, new planes.

Airline pilots are dumb, and look at all of the wrong things.
Who cares when the last guy upgraded? When will YOU upgrade. That is the real figure that matters.
Who cares what the per diem is? How much time will you be able to spend at home with your friends/family (aka...how efficient are the schedules and commutability)
Who gives a rats a** what the starting hourly pay is? How much money will you really make. At a good regional, you will get paid 1.3-1.5x per hour flown with cancellation pay, block or better pay, training pay, and additional pay for time off.
Here's a cheat sheet for choosing an airline:
1) Find one that you do not have to commute to.
2) If you have to commute, which one is easiest to get to work
3) Which one will give you the most days off
4) Which one will pay you the most (not hourly pay, but actual pay)
5) Which one can you get the heck out of fastest?

2. Bases change.
3. How the hell are you suppose to figure that out? Schedules change.
4.Ill agree with this one.
5. Seriously? Which regional should I go to that will help me get to a major the quickest.
