On PDT...

Any announcement yet on where the 145s will be based? I have heard PDT/AA are battling back and forth... AA wants ORD and PDT wants DCA and/or DCA/PHL? Any updates?

Also, I have been told by several PDT pilots and a few recruiters (taken with lots of grains of salt) that the 145s will go anywhere from mid-level to super-junior when the start coming online. Isn't there a pay raise with a switch from the Dash to the 145? I can't imagine anyone not taking the extra pay to move to the jet.

The first guy at PDT to tell me otherwise about moving to the 145 did so last week (another recruiter).... He said "if you get on with PDT before December, you'll get to move to the 145 eventually... maybe a year or two." I don't mind flying the Dash for a while, but I would prefer to move to the 145 on the advice of the legacy CA's I have spoken to. What's the consensus here? How long would it take for a guy getting online late this summer/early fall to get in the 145?

Thanks guys!
