The biggest question you have is whether you are going to move or not. If you are willing to move to a base.........DO IT!!! I'd also suggest looking into DTW as well as ATL and LAX. If you live in base, quality of life on reserve is good. Commuting to reserve sucks! Don't do it! By moving to base you will have more career opportunities and more than likely be able to make a lot more money as well as spend more time at home. I realize commuting can be unavoidable. It was in my case until the DL/NW merger when the base came to me.
The future of this airline seems to be going Airbus with 737's. If I was a new hire now, I'd probably go A320/21 initially. I hate spending time down on Virginia Ave going thru training.
Good Luck with your decision!
