Do all the bases have 200 as well 900 base?
Also:
1) If I'm going for the NYC bases- can anyone help by listing pros and cons for LGA vs JFK?
2) Once I decide between LGA/JFK and if I get to bid/chose between the 200/900, can anyone shed light on pros and cons between 200 vs 900?
Thank you. Interviewing this week and no previous jet time.

ATL is 200 only.
LGA v JFK is mostly dependent on your commute. If you're flying in from the eastern half of the US, LGA probably has more flights. West coast and the like you'd need JFK. LGA pilots currently spend less time on reserve.
200 v 900, you'll probably get a line faster in NYC on the 200 right now. When you're junior, there isn't much difference, once you move up the list, you can probably get more days off on the 900.

Good skew on your part though, vague comments based on facts other than what he asked about do paint a gloomier picture...

That is until we get another infamous congragulatory spanking from Daddy-D and shrink the base down again and not backfill anything for 8 months just like last time...
