Being a commuter I think it's all about finding the least painful situation.

Just checked the lines you'd hold in LGA 320/737 or PHL 190. LGA is about 300 numbers more junior. You might hold a line immediately after training (junior company wide is 15,053. Junior line holder in LGA is 14,895. Early March new hire. Probably finished training in mid-late May. Line holder in June. That surprised me...until I looked at the trips. 0500 and 0630 departures out of EWR 2-3x per month. It's obvious those are the trips guys don't want to fly.
PHL E190 you'd better enjoy flying 3-5 legs per day. A lot of BOS-LGA-DCA or BOS-DCA flights. But it's one airport.
