TUS is a little more junior, with the most Junior guy being here a little more then 1.5 years. its a very small base with only 15 crews. You never know with these small MX bases at OO, they can be very senior and junior it just depends.
On the CRJ, these bases are all possible quickly: (NO Particular order)
DEN, SLC, IAH, ORD, MSP, COS
As a new hire, treat the following bases as non existent (CRJ FO) for at least 2.5-3.5 years, in order to be the plug. Possibly longer for SEA.
SEA, PDX, PHX
On the Brasilia, anything is possible within a few months.
If you have a Hard-0^ to fly the CRJ, your quality of life will be crap for a lot longer. Expect 1-2 years of reserve (company avg).
If you're happy with the Brasilia, you WILL make more $ (at least 1st year), and hold a schedule likely within 3-6 months depending on the base. As Q.O.L. goes, you won't feel like an abused sweatshop worker for as long on the Brasilia. Take it if you are not commuting from the mid to eastern U.S.
