Unfortunately there are no 145 bases in Houston, or Texas for that matter. Just CRJ bases at the moment. I would not put it past management to base 145s in Houston though..... You just never know in this business.

My advice to you is to happily take the 145 and the base associated with it, move to wherever you are based, and put your 2 years in... and then figure out where you really want to live and upgrade on the equipment that will allow you to do it. While you are FOing it, you can base hop on the 145/140/135 if you get sick of one or the other. SDF is a good one from what I hear. STL will give you some CoExpress flying so you can come down to Texas a bunch.

If I could move to wherever I'm based, that would just be fantastic. But noooo, I had to get married and commute forever

Congrats again. You are going to have 10,000 questions between now and training and IOE. Feel free to ask us here, and for the specifics republicpilots.org
