As an FO you can change bases BUT you CANNOT bid turbojet to turbojet aircraft (UNLESS) you displace or proffer to displace during a displacement bid.. which do happen from time to time. I have switched aircraft 3 times in displacements, sometimes because I wanted too, sometimes not.
Pretty much expect to stay on whatever you get until upgrade though.
Currently after November:
DFW- EMB 145/EMB 175
ORD- EMB 145/CRJ 700
So if you want to be the most flexible.. EMB 145 is your safest bet. Although if you get CRJ, you will probably be able to displace to whatever you want within a couple years anyway.. plus they move airplanes around like musical chairs.. CRJ could move some or all to DFW at anytime. It has happened before and could happen again.
