757/767
320
Depends on the equipment as to which airport one might fly from.
We cover all three metro airports with IAD being the main base.
777 only has schedule departures from IAD
757/767 is mainly IAD with maybe one a day from DCA and a couple per day from BWI (this is a wag)
320 is about 60% IAD, 25% DCA, 15% BWI (again an educated wag but close enough for the general idea)
It is extremely rare to be scheduled to begin from one airport and end at the other. If something screws up or you get reassigned, the company then has to crosstown(surface D/H) you back to your originating airport.

I am a Feb 1989 hire and have been a bottom line holder for the last 5 years as a B756 capt. (110 out of 160). On the A320 Capt seat, my seniority would be 23 out of 140. The B777 capt seat is not in range but the FO seat would place me 20 out of 300+. Hope that helps a bit.

Rumors of a guppy base in SFO and IAD. Someone said its on the new flight ops news letter but I have not read it yet. IAD base has a good mix of flying on all jets based here.
