Based on age while I was there. Living on base is a billion times better than commuting.

Age is not an issue. You should get the base and equipment that you want. Most guys I know picked base over equipment. If you want either the 900 or 175 it shouldn't be an issue unless they change it tomorrow but currently it's your choice. Phx is the senior base which you might have to spend some time in DFW if you want PHX on the 900. If you want the 175 Houston is all yours, you should be able to hold IAD pretty quick as well. Like anything else do your research. Today's low end carrier is easily tomorrow's bright star. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Senior? LAX can be had almost instantly on the ERJ at OO. Maybe looking at commuting for a month or 2.

For FOs, LAX is within a few months reach at SKW.

If you choose the E175, IAH is the only choice. If you choose the CRJ you will probably get DFW. Some people get IAD.

You should also know that we have terrible priority as commuters. Makes commuting even harder. Not impossible but very very frustrating at times.

Yes, a Piedmont ramper's ex-girlfriend's Chihauha will get a seat before you do.
