I've got a buddy of mine that's about to bid S80 captain out of DFW...he's been there awhile...his take is that in 2-3 years, a guy like me may be able to get DFW, or not be far from holding it. Until then I'm torn between PHX...I like the west, and lots of options to commute out there, but I'm aware I'll be reserve forever. CLT is a short flight from where I'm at (LIT) but it's all RJ traffic and I'd prob be reserve there for 18-24 months I hear. There's really no easy commute to the NE from LIT, so PHL/DCA don't sound too desirable.
