I am in the interviewing stages for Mesa/Envoy/SkyWest.

If I get an offer from SkyWest, what is the chance a DFW based CRJ slot would be open? I am not sure if it is okay to show that type of preference in the interviews. I picked those three regionals because I live in Metro DFW so living in base (as bidding allows) is highly desirable.

Thanks!

Mesa is a dumpster fire that stays at gross hotels and defers all their maintenance problems. Envoy isnt terrible, and not sure how junior their DFW base is. I'd say get in the first class between Skywest and Envoy.

And then with a coffee in my hand and a patient attitude, see how things unfold each day regarding changes in the schedule. With the right attitude, it becomes a lot easier to make it through. With the wrong attitude, someone could waste tons of energy that could have been productively spent elsewhere.

Save that attitude for everyday of your entire career. You’ll do well.
Nice.

Most junior DFW FO October 5 seniority.
Most junior DFW CP October 10 2019 seniority. Remember, you’ll probably upgrade.

Remember that link.

Don't go to Mesa unless its the only CJO you get.

Count up that many people on the base seniority list and then see when they were hired.
