For CAs, Chicago is starting to swing senior. Dulles is now middle of the road. MKE and CAE are junior. CAE isn’t too bad especially if you live in base or can drive there. MKE has a close proximity to ORD.
If you want CAE out of training, you’ll get it. On the FO side, IAD is senior then ORD followed by MKE and CAE.
Life is always better when one doesn’t have to commute. I’ve been here 13 years and no longer have to commute and don’t miss the aggravation of full, delayed and cancelled flights to contend with. The way things are going, it’ll be a quick upgrade. The March staffing vacancy had a January, 2018 new hire get awarded MKE

For those that live there or can drive, QOL there is good. The one negitive is lots of early starts on day one and late finishes on day 4 being it a mx base. So for commuters that is terrible. For locals is more annoying but not as bad.
