SkyWest will positive space you home and back for the weekends throughout ground school. Hotel is double occupancy. Pay is 65hrs/mo. Very high quality training. You should get your company ID after week 2, then you are in CASS.

for once ASA is at the top of my list...
Newhires get paid from day 1- 75 hr guarantee (19.02).
Single Occupancy hotel room across the street from the training center (not the best hotel, but not the worst).
As of now Delta flight benefits but that may change soon.
When you are in training ASA treats you very well, once out on the line, is another story.
I believe ASA training is above average.
Good luck!

Colgan pays for training, double occupancy in the hotels, pay when i went through was 50 dollars a day. As soon as you get your ID you have flight benefits.

Have to second the suggestion for ASA. The training experience, while not a walk in the park, was made to be the best possible. I came on in the ATR side of the house, and I have absolutely NOTHING bad to say about the ATR training department. In fact, several of my classmates expressed a desire for the RJ training house to be taken over by the ATR folks.
75 hour per month guarantee, (still not quite liveable at $19.02 per hour), CASS once you get ID's, usually within two weeks, and single occupancy hotel throughout the training, all in all, not too bad.

RAH pays $400/week, double occupancy (you may even be able to negotiate this away - we're desperate for CRJ/ERJ qualified guys), upgrade holding at 2 - 2.5 yrs, your choice of base as long as it's not the one you want, fabulous labor relations guy, get to enjoy numerous upcoming battles with mngt in pending contract negotiations while wondering.

Enjoy!

Did I mention $2500 bonus for CRJ/ERJ qualified peeps.

ASA is good in training. Much different story when you get out.

Don't look short-term. Look at the big picture.

In that case, DON'T go to ASA!!

Eagle is the best... by far....
1) Guarantee from day one 75hrs at 23.50/hr
2)16hr per diem at 1.60
3) single occupancy rooms after systems
4) ID by the end of the first week
5) Best route structure and flight benes
6) you can jump on any US mainline anywhere in the world!!
7) choice of base before you get hired
8) Top notch training

And its a great company overall....has its issues, but which one doesn't???

Actually newhires no longer stay in the Red Roof believe it or not! I believe they stay across the street at the Amerisuites.

o me me me me my company is the best all yours suck. my regional is better than them all and I knew that because thats why I applied and got hired here and you guys are stuck at your stinky airlines. All the guys at my airline leave ONLY for UPS and FDX.

seriously people - send out apps, interview, get hired, roll the dice and hope it works out in the end - basically thats it.

Yes I am going to give the flying thing "one more go". I want to make a decision that is comfortable initially. I want to work for Eagle actually, I'm sure I'll get shot down. lol

you are wrong on item 1). you are guaranteed 64 hours until IOE is complete (section 4(A)). also wrong on 5). most people get FREE flight benefits on their own airline (or a heavily subsidized one - us airways blue card), we have to pay for each leg until year 5.

will agree eagle training is very nice though. certainly near the top when considering other regionals.

Excellent Training at ASA....."leave no pilot behind" philosophy. They arent there to weed people out. You stay at the Amerisuites or Holiday Inn Select single occupancy. The ASA instructors are great too.

double occupancy until sim (end of systems), then single travel benefits are free. No startup cost, no subscription fee, and certainly nothing per leg (except international taxes).

65 hrs at $19/hr good I can start saving for the cadillac I've always wanted! My friend said for his checkride they repositioned him already lined up on final to hand fly the ILS two engine approach?????? he said it was a joke? what is the truth????? what do some of you guys really mean when you say "High Quality traing"?

ASA has me in the Westin right now single occupancy. No complaints so far.
