Plus being a maintenance base will have bad schedules. Which is why Iad is senior and Mke is junior. Ord all things considered is a fairly easy commute from most anywhere imo.
IAD is so senior we have CAs who’ve been here ten plus years and are stuck on RSV. I was holding not so good schedules there so I bid out and over to ORD

Most junior ORD line holder was hired in September of last year.
Most junior MKE line holder was hired in December.
Most junior IAD line holder was hired in May of 2017.

My advice is to get on the property and get a seniority number. You may not get what you want right off the bat, but things around here are moving fast. I’m sure another vacancy bid will be out again soon

This isn't a bad place to work by any means but I'd feel very differently if I had to commute.
