I’m seeing some doom and gloom here and would like to solicit opinions if possible. I chose SkyWest because I live at a relatively junior base and I am currently unable to relocate. If it helps I’ve been given the ERJ. I have several offers from other regional airlines but everyone except Piedmont has class dates pushed out until next year. I guess this narrows down my choices to SkyWest or Piedmont. My concern with the WO is the 50 seater and the commute to PHL which I’ll likely get assigned. If there’s any other information I should provide to help just ask. I’m obviously new to the 121 side and appreciate all of the assistance I can get.
Only thing Skywest has in this argument is the ability to sit reserve from your house, which I can't imagine will be long either place.

That surprised me a bit- thought it was more junior. I’m also hoping for IAH. Family roots will keep me in Texas.

That said, senior is relative when we’re losing 200+ people a month. You should be able to hold IAH in less than a year. Maybe 6 months.

Right, I’m not expecting to get it right out of training and my interviewer mentioned a few months at least. I guess I’ll have to take into consideration the possible base I might get assigned and how that commute would compare to IAH-PHL at Piedmont and each company’s QOL as a commuter.
