I just want to make the best decision and this is only one if the factors.
Thanks for the help.
Don't let your option be based on solely the chance of holding a line sooner. There is allot of movement at AE happening right now. LAX is the most senior base and is rather small. MIA/ERJ at this time is junior but you will probably never see significant movement (getting the good trips) because most pilots there are senior to you but very junior in the company and thus movement will be slow there. PLEASE, concern yourself with the other QOL factors, are you moving to this place, can you afford to live in MIA compared to DFW. What base would have the easiest commute, different carriers and how many J/S do these airplanes have, are there allot of commuters on this route. 1st year pay is the same, what is the fastest way to a line today will not be tomorrow. DFW was the most senior base 6 months ago, now is becoming extremely junior.
