As a new employee, I'm ready to deal with whatever base/aircraft that is assigned and I'll cross that bridge at the time. Someone earlier in the thread said a BOS-DTW wasn't a bad commute, and I have extended family near MSP. I realize the company can change at a whim too. Going in ready for whatever, but just trying to get as much Intel as I can. I really appreciate all the great info I'm getting from APC members.

Anyways, seems like people are getting their first choice soon after training, so it isn't permanent. Welcome to all the new folks!

Latest vacancy out has 25 DTW 900 FO, 15 LGA 900 FO, and 30 DTW 200 FO slots. Those numbers change a little due to secondaries, so other bases also open up by some slots, but overall it seems like a mix for new hires between 200/900 and NYC vs DTW/MSP. Keep in mind vacancies are also running every couple months so it's possible that you may get something less desirable when you show up in training but by the time you leave for the line you are in your first choice base.

Other than that, the 900 is probably quieter since the powerplants are further from the cockpit.
