I didn't remember, but a search did help answer that question. Good luck! What base are you looking for?

Lets start by defining what your definition of QOL is.
Do you like being home on saturday/Sundays?
Do you like the idea of an outstation?
Do you like hotels or crew apartments?
Lots-o-variety
CVG and OAK usually have a quicker turnover (IE less desirable, but again, YMMV)
Seattle and SLC are a little more senior
PDX, PHX and DAL fall somewhere inbetween.
Some bases are all turbine, some mainly cheiftains, some lots-o-outstations.

That pretty much sums it up right there =) One thing to keep in mind is that when they have a vacancy in base, they will try and upgrade someone from within the base, before sending it as a company wide bid. For example, if a BE99 spot opens in Phoenix, they will offer it to the Chieftain guys in PHX before putting it out in the company that they need a pilot upgraded to the BE99.
With that said, OAK is mostly a chieftain base... so in order to upgrade you will have to be willing to move. That is why it is generally junior.
