I'd say 220 SLC. Their trips are almost all commutable on one end and quite a few on both. The flying itself looks a little repetitive but there are almost no redeyes or 4 leg days. Plus everyone I've talked to who flies it really likes it. You'll take a little hit on pay vs the 320 but you can make up for that with your superior seniority if you want.

It has been only a couple months on RSV but going forward that will likely increase since the company has used up most of their nyc slots for new hires so there won't be the massive influx that there has been.

SLC is drivable in a worst case.... MSP no chance drivable.

Thanks for the responses. I'll take them into account.

The classes aren’t picked that way, but the aircraft/base assignments are.

9999 most senior - 0000 most junior

That is the reason I'm in NYC.

Atlanta has more mainline flights but NYC has "enough" RJs between LGA, JFK and EWR.

NYC is 6-8 hour drive depending on which airport and traffic. Maybe 5 on a good day (non holiday weekend, no weather)

ATL is 10 with no stops, no traffic etc.

There is no such thing as a mad dash. Oh, I have an hour to go 5 concourses? Sounds like the company messed up. That's a guaranteed delayed. And I'm hungry so I'm stopping to get lunch and use the restroom.
