Skywest...Kind of... Best ORD Regional
As many of you can tell there are so many comments, opinions, and thoughts on best regional to fly for, I thought I'd ask again, in a different way:
1. Best regional to work for out of training and get ORD/LGA. I own places in both. Prefer to be a FO in ORD to start and would like to find a regional that has Jr FO's at ORD. Skywest seems to be one of them. Any others or suggestions?
2. Opened ended and bound to get a "search the threads" but there are so MANY. As of this year, in 1,2,3, for best QOL, Pay, holding line as a FO in terms of time. I don't really care about flow through, don't want to communte (ie. hold ORD/LGA).
Thanks,

Envoy. LGA and ORD are both junior even for Captains.
Fast upgrades.
Some resemblance to livable wages now with new rates.
Flow, even if its not relevant to new hires, guarantees movement at the top of the list, so very small risk for stagnation in base.

I’ve been ORD Envoy and SkyWest. I would ask what your 10 year plan is and if you want QOL the next 3 years. If your into QOL go SkyWest. If you want no QOL but a flow. (Maybe.. I wasn’t going to wait for what would have been 17 years... worked out for me) then go to Envoy but be ready for a ruff few years.. but if you want to stay east. I would go to Republic..
