Thanks!
DCA is pretty junior for FO and captain. Most guys who want it get based in DCA a few weeks to a month after finishing IOE. The most junior FO to hold a full line RD1 for this coming April was a July 2017 new hire.
DCA is most CRJ 700 Flying with a mix of 200 and 900 Trips.
Out of the 60 RD1 lines for April, I would say maybe 10 lines were 90%ish commutable for the most part. I define comutable as day 1 starting around 12ish and ending around 1800ish on day 4.
