Commuting From IAD
Apologies for my ignorance. I’m sure something similar to this has been asked.
I am lucky enough to have a CJO looking at an August class date. I will be commuting from IAD for at least the first few months. I am thinking 320 or 73 would best suit me to start. DTW, NYC, and ATL are all about equidistant from me, and I am wondering which I would be likely to hold a line the quickest. Any big pros or cons with the routes from any of these bases? ATL seems to have the most commute options per day.
I am also open to the idea of the 220, but am a little hesitant as I don’t want it to be too similar to the regional flying I already do. But it seems like such a neat airplane.
Many thanks in advance for any advice! And I am beyond thrilled to start

are you still considering other options (like United)?

Anyone got an idea of what to bid for with being an ORD commuter? DTW, ATL, NYC are bases I’m looking for but in terms of the trips and the fleet I’m kinda still blurry on what will provide the best commutable options. Gonna have to commute for at least one year unfortunately.

Maybe it’ll change, but the last flight from Msp-ord is around 7:45pm? That alone makes a lot of MSP trips not commutable unfortunately.

I can't speak to the commute stuff very much, but I wouldn't avoid the 220. It does a lot of long and thin routes, not very much regional style flying at all. You're more likely to do much more of that on the 737 honestly (though the 737 flying is diverse and it does all kinds of other stuff too).
