Default Which one?

Hello friends...just needed a quick opinion poll on what job I should take...I got three offers from the following:

Republic, PSA, Compass, ATLAS...

Home for me is PHX and this will be my first 121 job...I understand avoid commute if at all possible...but if you had to choose ...which one? I guess my end goal in career is one of the Legacies.

You have been on APC for 9 years. Yet you are still asking this. Seriously?

Depends on:

1. Background/TT and experience
2. College Degree?
3. Age?
4. Where to you want to be in the future?
5. How much flying to you want to do? (regionals will net 700+ hrs a year whereas Atlas, probably a lot less with lots of deadhead and not that many takeoffs/landings)
6. Are you ok with being gone for 15 plus days (Atlas or any ACMI for that matter)?

Yup, only place that you can start and end a trip at home without a commute on your dime... and they pay a little more, and they fly mainline size planes, and you don't mind being on the road 2 straight weeks going who knows where around the planet.
