Take into account your longterm goals... If you're looking at several years to upgrade regardless, then go with the better company.. If you just want to punch tickets and move on.. quicker upgrades sound nice.. but there are other companies upgrading quicker in turboprop equipment. How long do you want to invest in this stage of your career?

An older 777 pilot once told me this, "Go to a company that if something like 9-11 were to happen and you knew that you were going to have to stay with this company for a long time, would you be happy?"
but........... he also did say, never turn down a 121 job. So I guess good luck with this one......gosh.....idiot

Not complaining by any means just would like to hear what others out there would do.

I am very flexible with moving to the bases and I am single. T-Minus 12 days until TSA training class starts. PLease ASA give me a call. The majority say go to TSA and ditch for ASA once they call. One southwest Captain told me something that makes me think twice though about doing that. In a future interview with a major airline they might look at the fact that i left an airline during or rt after training after all that money they spent on me for another. They might ask, How do we know you wont do this to us if UPS calls? What is a good answer to this? Thanks for all the helps guys.

I don't know what the right answer is for you...If I had your situation...
I'd tell the second people that called I already accepted a a job offer and training start date. I'd thank them for their call and tell them I look forward to the opportunity to work with them in the future if things at my current job don't work out...
This way I won't have to tap dance in future interviews. If I give someone my word I consider it as good as a written contract. I expect them to treat my word the same way...
