I spent my first year commuting from DEN to PHL on the 190, second PHL AB, third CLT.
The downside of PHL is they cut back to 1 or 2 a day in the off seasons. Fortunately there are a couple UAL/SWA & 1 F9 flight to mitigate that. But our last flight is at 1100, so before DOTC. I think the last flight home in the off season is 1830, so that sucks compared to other bases.
I was too nervous to sit at home on LCR on probation (but do so now with great results). That's one of the reasons I chose the 190, was to get a line quicker.
