No...haven't gone anywhere.

Where would I expect to be based with Endeavor? I know they have JFK and LGA, which I would be cool with. But I'm not sure about Minneapolis and Detroit. Then again, I've never been there

"No...haven't gone anywhere."


Still deciding or have you re-considered CA? Would be interested in your take on it if you have time.

Some of their current folks could speak to it better than I could, but I am pretty sure you can almost get any domicile you want either immediately or shortly after training.

Correct, if you don't get the domicile you want in training, the way things are going, the first vacancy, you will be where you want to be.

In terms of DTW, it's not a bad place, if you stay away from the bad parts of DTW. Contrary to what people say, there are nice areas in and around the city.

I would look at every airline and write down the pro's and cons. Talk with your family and assess what is most important to you. That being said I'm at piedmont right now and I can say it's a good place to be. We are growing and there is a lot of movement. If you want to be at a major than this is a good place to be. We supposedly have the fastest flow in the American system right now. We also have a fast upgrade. Things that suck is that you would likely have to move.

I have a lot of friends at endevour and they seem really happy. Being from Michigan it's a nice place to live and very affordable. Commutair might also be worth checking out. They have an Ewr base which is sort of New York. Hope this helps. Good luck

First off your need to get the regional job before you can consider Spirit. Now if you want to live in MCO, one option is Silver Airways flying the Saab340 with a upgrade time of just a little under 2 yearish. If you have your heart set on a jet well then Republic in MIA is possible but not likely starting with them but maybe 6 months down the road or so a friend told me.

good luck either way.

Yeah I know I need to build time before I get to a major. And as far as a turbo prop vs a jet, I would be happy with flying just about anything if I get good pay and a good QOL. Regional is theoretically only temporary. I'm just trying to think ahead as much as possible. Does it matter if it is a turbo prop or jet, or is it just anything turbine PIC that I'm trying to build?

Also, how hard is it to commute? I just learned about passrider.com and I'm working my way through the site but it looks like a pretty consistent and abundant schedule of flights leaving SHV. I used JFK as an example and there are 100 flights all averaging 6-7 hours getting up there. That doesn't seem too bad, in my inexperienced opinion. What do y'all think?

Another question: does it matter what regional I work for if I want to get to a specific major? For example, Endeavor if my goal is to get to Delta? Or does it not matter?
