Right now I live in SE Florida, with family and many considerations tying me to life down here. I understand the brutality of commuting and the importance of planning for the longer term. Of all the regionals, the only place I would consider moving to is NC for the Charlotte base (the biggest factor in choosing PSA for me). I know FOs are almost all getting Dayton off the bat. I/we would never consider moving there or to most other bases and would rather figure out commuting (especially with job opportunities for my SO). Are there any benefits moving to CLT even with a probable Dayton assignment? Are there priority and availability options that make commuting from a domicile to another domicile easier than pure non-rev commuting from my current home in FL? How long are FOs expecting to wait before they can get CLT assignments?

PSA is a top contender for me but I guess never making it back to CLT would be a deal breaker. Any advice and guidance is much appreciated.
Move to CLT and have easyish, one leg often on your own metal, commutes to the outstation bases while you wait for the seniority to hold CLT, which shouldn’t be too long in the grand scheme of things.
