Great question Logan and you’re right, much of the answers will be “it depends” and “do what’s best for you” but let’s see if we can’t give you a little help.

There’s absolutely no harm in waiting. Here’s the deal. Newsflash! There’s a pilot shortage! And EVERY Regional is scrambling to grab bodies which is great for you because it’s always good to have choices. Thing is you’ve got bigger things to worry about right now so focus on your training. The offers will still be there when you’re done and in all likelihood they’ll be even better. Why lock yourself in now?

Of course they all offer AMAZING everything and honestly they’re all offering pretty amazing deals. While the pay might be higher here than there etc etc, what really matters to most people are bases. Commuting sucks and if you can avoid one (or at least have an easier one) it’s worth way more than a few bucks an hour. If that’s not your priority figure out which airline meets it and go there.

With the exception of bases and flows you really don’t which is why you should wait.
