Thanks to both CC & Bafan for posting some useful and relevant information that might actually help some of us.

I just got off the phone to Aerocrew (TSA) and so far so good there.
Am also in the process of drafting an application to ExpressJet. Just wondering if it's easier to apply directly via their website or use AirlineApps??
In terms of these 2 operators, does anyone have any recommendations either way?? Money seems to be similar as far as I can make out.

Thanks again

I'd say it's mostly a 50/50 choice. Expressjet is the safer job, because TSA lost a lot of their Delta flying, but I suspect upgrade at TSA is around 2 years, vs 5-7 years at Expressjet. I'd probably take the risk on TSA for the quicker upgrade, because regionals are so short staffed for crew that it doesn't really matter if you have to jump ship down the track.
