Well, keep in mind that I was told directly by the D.O. and system chief pilot that they really don't like to have crews staying overnight in hotels at the outstation. It costs them money for the hotel and per diem, so they'd rather have someone live there. Last summer SLK was a base, so once the bid packet comes out for this summer (hopefully within the next couple weeks), we'll see what they're going to do with it.

Now, here's the part you won't like. Currently (and all this is subject to change), the only FO bases up for bidding are BOS, ALB, RSW, and SJU. They typically want to be able to utilize FOs in such a way that they could fly any trip with any CA out of the hub, rather than being tied to an outstation. But, as an FO you can build time very quickly and upgrade within a few months. Then you'll have your pick of the outstations.
