Prior military pilot with no idea how regionals or airlines work, but it seems as if CPZ is the best with the quickest upgrades. PSA doesn't have the best reputation and CPZ hires to a much higher standard. PSA's flight deck procedures are retarded at best. Nothing like I am use to in the military.

Paying out of pocket for a hotel during training definitely sucks along with an LAX base, but all in all it appears to be a small price to pay with better long term options and a quick upgrade in a highly desirable typed plane.

I welcome all sarcasm but not preferred..

With things picking up again very very soon you could probably hold DTW right out of training. Just like when I was hired a year ago, things were happing very quickly and we could hold whichever base we wanted right out of class.

For the most part, yes.

I'm not too sure this is accurate. The recent reallignments had DTW downsize a bit and with MSP FOs bidding DTW to get hotels and per diem during upgrade, it would be difficult to predict an accurate timeframe in which a new hire could hold DTW.
