Have you thought of ORD? Ton of flying and always something in open time.
Cost of living is as high if not higher than in Denver, so at that point, I may as well move to DEN. Career progression is a big plus at ORD though.
What I'm trying to figure out is if the difference between the mentioned bases would be that big after all, being on reserve a couple more months (DEN/COS) -vs- being a line holder almost right away (DTW/ORD). And then having to commute in the future once I upgrade, until able to hold CO CA.
