Apologies, No attitude was intended. I am just trying to get some perspective. I have an interview with Express Jet and was reading their forum and SkyWest continually came up as a company that does business better than Express Jet. So I started reading this forum and see a lot of the same discontent. Like I say, just trying to get some different opinions. No attitude intended.

This was my original post. Only responses I got were regarding Houston, which I appreciate. Apparently I have offended some with the brevity of my follow up. Did not intend to, just looking for some perspective.
So, I have interviews scheduled with Express Jet and SkyWest. Reading both related blogs on here, there is a ton of hate and discontent on both. I get that, regional life isn't going to be the best. Just looking for any recommendations. I reside in the Orlando area, so if I were to get on with SkyWest, what is the situation at IAH as far as being able to get that as a base, upgrade time etc?

You're thinking of "replaced due to line constraints" in the reason report. CN says we know what you want but we need you to do this anyway. For example, if you bid a stretch of 20 days off without vacation, pbs will say I see what you want but it's not gonna happen. Here, have this min credit 4am report four day instead!

Anyway..
I would suggest Skywest over Expressjet. I think Expressjet is a good company with good people but I have friends there that were on reserve forever and upgrade times aren't good.
Skywest you won't have to be on reserve (aircraft and base depending) and upgrade is somewhere around 2.5 years as of right now (always subject to change of course)
