Do you get a choice of a few bases? I'm asking because I live in Fresno and know SKW has a base here but also assume it's pretty senior since I hear nobody really speak of it.

Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to decide on which regionals make sense. Compass is ideal because I know guys who got LAX a few months ago as newbies. However they're currently not hiring from what my friends tell me; I also hear that may only be fairly temporary. Who really knows... but commuting out of FAT on one leg is hard enough, let alone 2 (possibly more) legs to ORD or DTW.

Anyway, just looking for guidance as I find my way back to flying.

Thanks!
