The Dash bases are DEN, PHX, and GJT. GJT is the most senior for CA's. For Dash FO's, GJT is most senior, DEN and PHX are about even. If you are in a hurry to be out west, the Dash is the way to go. There has been a lot of Dash hiring lately, so that could mean the next few classes will go mainly to the jets.
On the jet side, I believe that CLT is more senior than JFK, ORD, and IAD. PHX is very senior for jet pilots. The Hawaii bases are mid-lower seniority, probably due to the cost of living. If you wind up assigned jets, your choices will probably be suck up the COL in the islands or wait for your seniority to hold PHX.
Hope this helps.
