Default Advice on DFW

I'm fully expecting to get shot for starting a thread, but here it goes. I'm looking to get on with a regional based at DFW (where I live), and it seems like the choices are Envoy and XJet. Having read through the threads on both airlines there is, of course, a light and dark side to both, but I'm trying to figure out pros and cons as well as potential/timeline for getting picked up at a legacy eventually. I'm interested in any advice, opinions, snark, or BS stories and thank you for your help/hate

Mesa is also an option out of DFW.

Mesa and ExpressJet will be much smaller operators in DFW in about a year.

That's what I keep reading but what happens then? Do they re-assign personnel?

They will displace to other bases.

Well I fly for XJT based at Dfw and was going to recommend you going to Envoy. However, after reading some of the snark replies from the Envoy people above, I no longer recommend you go to Envoy.

I was based at Dfw back in the ASA days when we flew for DL and for the last few years here again and always thought the Envoy guys were a good bunch of people. Might have to reassess my views on that though. Hopefully those envoy guys that posted above are the minority over there and the rest are still good people that wish no ill will upon fellow pilots.
