That way you'll make a more educated decision and not just follow the jet or temporary selling points, pick a place that will give you the best QOL long term not short. What's a good quality of life is up to you and don't let people persuade you either way, that's your decision. Once you've interviewed as many places as you can, try to speak to actual line pilots not recruiters. After that try and make a decision. Either way it will probably be wrong because we're all regionals and are a cheap labor force for mainline and they will cut any of us loose if we threaten their profits.

Classy of one of our codeshare partners adding the $ to their logo on their secure website. Nice way to rub in everyone's face that today is their profit sharing payout
