DFW is NOT junior... at least not on the EMB. 15 months in and my classmates and I STILL cannot hold a hard line. Not even a Relief Line, for that matter.
Whether or not to commute is a personal preference; some people hate it, for others it's a way to get the QOL/seniority/pay they want and things work out great. I think most places out of DFW are relatively commutable, but there's a few (like ORD) that are almost impossible. There's lots of flights on multiple carriers to DEN so Skywest would be a good commutable choice... ATL isn't very bad either (i've been back and fourth several times) so maybe RAH (Shuttle)?
