Best overall regional for new hire-IAD/DCA
Anyone have an opinion on what's the best overall regional to shoot for in building currency and part 121 experience out of IAD or DCA is? I've been looking at Air Wisconsin, CommutAir and Mesa. It seems like from the regional forums, Air Wisconsin and CommutAir have decent contracts and QOL. Thanks.

If you want to go to IAD, your best bet would probably be TSA. Growing company with quick upgrade, and new hires are getting assigned IAD. Air Wisconsin has the best contract but longer upgrade and uncertain future. Their contract was extended by three years so after that, who knows.

That said, if you have a family, the insurance that the pilots pay is above $500/month. There is also a two-hour reserve call out with TSA. I don't know what the call out provisions are for the carriers you mentioned.
