What base?

I would agree with the others: pick the path of least commute. What about Compass or even Endeavor? a DTW base would be good for you. Like others have said, if you are ex military with no skeletons, you'll be at a major in no time so upgrade times and other things pertinent to the average regional new hire are of less concern to you right now.

Thanks for your service (Ex-AF Driver)

My squadron has pilots that are FOs for both Compass just announced their closing DTW and the Endeavor FO has moved up 4 spots in 8 months at LGA.
I'm MI ANG, thanks for your service and insight

Compass is definitely closing the DTW base. DTW is expected to go Jr at 9E and with a $20k/year bonus, i'd think that is your best bet. No need for you to chase upgrade times being prior mil

Thank you for your service as well

If it were me I would chose PSA. If you already have the mins to upgrade then you will do so in about 6-7 months. You will spend about 2 months in training. 1.5-2 months waiting on IOE at home while getting paid. Then come off IOE with a line and upgrade in 3-4 months. If you do the TSA thing then great you get to log a little PIC time when they let you fly in the left seat but again you are scheduling's puppet on both the CA side and the FO side for a long time. You will be getting paid less over the course of your first year at TSA and not have the QOL that the contract has at PSA. Just my 2 cents.

This post is full of lies.

1) A pilot without any 121 experience will never upgrade in 3-4 months. 1000 SIC, remember? That will take no less than 13-14 months.

2) He's not eligible for CQFO.

3) Pay rates at TSA are better on FO and CA side.

1) He specifically mentioned all that stuff "If he already had the mins to upgrade."

2) If he's not eligible for CQFO there is no advantage in going to TSA. Our SAP would make his experience at PSA most likely more enjoyable than TSA.

3) The rates are identical to one another.....Unless he makes it past year 4 as an FO or 12 as CA.
