Of course -- however I don't think it'd be any worse than NYC717B as a first assignment to be 'stuck with.'

Almost immediate lineholder or guaranteed option for rolling thunder pick-your-flying if on reserve, and on the 717, easy to switch over to any of the other three bases on the next AE.

Plus, LAX would be easy to commute to, and only one airport to worry about for 99% of 717 rotations.

I wouldn't shy away from it if I were in indoc right now.
