ExpressJet i'd say. RAH seems to be all over the place. Their debt load and fiasco with F9 spells trouble imho.

If you can get a CRJ class at ExpressJet you should be able to get ATL no problem. 10 out of 14 in the July 9th class got ATL.

They both have their positives and negatives. With any research on this forum I'm sure you can clearly see the pro and cons of both. When it all comes down to it, go with the easiest commute!

Tell me you've given this puppy a good read. Don't doubt that they'll walk if it comes to that.

Florida is an infamously tough commute, and the RAH ATL base has been on life support for years - besides the fact that you need to win Operating Certificate Roulette as a new hire to have any shot at it in the first place.

Also of think of what if you end up being the most jr guy in class @ xjet and end up getting dtw or iad on crj side or any of the other bases on erj side like Iah, cle or ewr.....just a thought.
