Regional is my 2nd career, best QoL&Benefits?
After retiring from decades in a non-aviation career, becoming a CFI and building hours for a few years, I've decided to give the regionals a try.
- Money is not a motivating factor (I'm previously retired).
- Decent benefits such as medical & dental would be nice, but what I have now is good enough.
- Travel benefits for myself and the wife are important so we can take mini vacations wherever and whenever I'm not working.
- Shortest time on reserve.
- Upgrade and/or movement to majors not a priority, although flying for JB one day and being based in BOS would be nice.
- I live in the New England area and would most likely have to commute from Boston.
- Since I don't know any better, I'm assuming my best choice for bases would be Laguardia and Newark?
For me this is more about the fun of learning to fly jets in a part 121 environment.
Which regional do folks suggest? I've tried to read as much of the forum as possible but there are sooo many threads it's hard to pull it all together.
Thanks!

I work at Endeavor and I commute from BOS.
Endeavor is a decent place to work right now. We are a regional so no future is certain, but it will be a solid place to be at for another couple of years at least. Retention bonus for another couple years of $23k. Research, research, research.
Also what about Cape Air or PenAir right there in BOS?
Let me know if I can be of help.
