I was thinking CLT A320 might be the best option if available.
Unless you are 40 or older you probably won't have a choice anyway...it will either be PHL AB or 190.

The 190 (only available in PHL) would let you commute to a line within a few months vs. reserve on the bus. You could probably hold a line on the bus in PHL by the time your seat lock is up. CLT would be a little longer before holding a line on the bus.

What options are available in the class varies. Some classes it's all PHL, others are DCA heavy. Some have a few CLT spots, which nearly always go senior. We had a pretty big class (25), and although I'm 40, I was #10 out of 25. I believe the 190 is offered in every class.

AB long call in PHL has happened for my class quicker then E190 long call.... The whole 190 is a quick line is true but only when they allow those who have awarded equipment to leave the 190.... My class might get secondaries in June which will be 7-8 month range. Not terrible but if AB stays the same for long call it might be the best bet....
