So I have just kind of settled on the fact that I will most likely be commuting no matter which regional I pick unless I sit around and wait to get eith endeavor.
skw seems to have some pretty quick upgrade times which is a huge plus and a lot of pilots who go to SWA which is my end goal.

Never plan on a regional career. There is a reason LCA leave even as the highest income pilots on the SL.

But if you're looking for resume bullets, I'd say LCA before SCA if you have a choice on that.

Commuting Policy?
Whats the current commuting policy? I couldnt find anything on the SKW website or even a recruiter email. I could have sworn I found it on here the other day but I havent been able to locate it again.
Im researching regionals to apply to next year and plan to commute for at least the first couple years
Any info would be appreciated. Cheers

What is the current commuting policy at SkyWest? There is nothing on the website and I cant find anything on here that isn't prior to 2020. I plan to commute for the first few years of my career so this is one of the biggest factors in choosing my regional. Any info would be appreciated.

You have commuter benefits on UA. DL, AA and AS are dependent on your domicile and equipment.
