Depends on the airline, most regionals are strapped for staff so if you opt call-me-first you'll fly at most of them.
Assume a prior-121 DEC, some regionals will grant longevity for time served, so that bumps the pay up.
Not for everyone, and certainly not the end-all-be-all. But if you need a job, the bigs aren't calling, and the base works for you...
