IAD is the best base if you live there. The worst if you commute. Dulles is going to go very senior when CLT closes. Most CLT people I have talked to said they are going to Dulles. Only a few are chasing the 79 seaters to DFW. Everyone seems to think the 79 seaters will be converted to 76 anyhow. DFW will be the jr base

Missed it by a month then! Because people will start moving from CLT to IAD in earnest next bid right? I thought Dallas was opening in November causing that.
Anything cheaper than $55 in Dulles? I'm also going to ask for sound advice about commuting in general. How to minimize nights where you pay for a hotel. How to live out of a 22" Luggageworks suitcase for one or two weeks at a time. How to save money. Etc. Any good advice thoroughly appreciated.

3 airplanes a month will be moving to Dfw beginning November
FO's are paid the same. Captains are paid 50 seat pay, and a differential for each hour they fly on a (60-76) or (>76) seat airplane. So captains that are now flying 79 seat 900s would take a hit.

Why is IAD the best? Is it the schedules? I'm back and forth between PHX and IAD. Not a big fan of winter, but DC is cool and the schedules are nice. Expensive for some, but if you're single a $500 room can be found on Craigslist easily enough.

I can see why IAD is the worst for commuting. Take tonight for example: there are 6 RON aircraft all arriving after 840PM.
I have heard the United schedules are more productive and therefore more days off.
That said, I am not concerned about productivity, I just want to be as commutable as possible. Looks like it is going to be FedEx for me if I am IAD based...
