Best Regional for Commuting out of DEN
I have interviews lined up at the following carriers. Trans States, American Eagle, Express Jet and Republic. Assuming I get offers from all of them, which one would be the best for commuting out of DEN? I know a few of them have DEN domicile but they are mostly senior and as a new hire I will not get it for quite some time.
Thanks in advance.

Your avatar says "I did my time". When I was trying to break in, Key Lime was picky and only those from Key Lime who were hungry and good could get on with Great Lakes. So, if you were a saw gunner in Trashcanistan, you did do your time. If you were able to pay your bills as a CFI on a wet ticket and a year or two later get offers from these operators, I don't want to hear it.
For those who don't know, Key Lime is/was a tough freight expediter which requires PIC minimum times.
Yes I am bitter, and no, it is not your fault, and if you were a saw gunner or a member of a Stryker brigade, thank you.

If you can't get on with Skywest, then I would guess Eagle. DFW is huge. Lots of flights, close, Southwest to Love, Drive to Colorado Springs Not a lot of competition.
Sorry, jealousy is not attractive.
$5,000 bonus still valid?
Oh, and have you seen the girls in Dallas? Though you may be a girl, sorry, woman.

Seriously? I agree Denver itself is cool, but commuting from there sucks, at least from my experience and from the folks I know that do it still.

From my perspective anywhere to and from DEN has got to be one of the toughest commutes in the country, which is why I don't live there anymore. Unless you plan on working for SKW or ahem, dare I say Lakes, I wouldn't plan on an easy commute. I've found the 2-leg commute is easy if you're willing to fly on RJ's to more obscure places like ICT, DSM or XNA. Just my experience with it.

If you can get hired at SkyWest, we do 2x daily DEN-FAT. You'd probably be hired in the EMB and getting based at FAT should be real easy.
DEN to SFO, LAX, or SLC, which are also EMB bases, happens many times a day as well.
Transition to the RJ or ERJ after a year. DEN will be a domicile for both aircraft by then.

Express jet has a den base opening, however like skw it's senior as can be. XJT you got IAH which is ok commuting to DEN. ORD might be a bit more complicated unless you do mdw. Not sure on CLE MCI and EWR.
