The QOL once you're a line holder isn't all that bad, you could commute into MDT or LGA really easily. There is always rumors of a PHL base opening up but who knows. I live in SLC and get to spend a fair amount of time at home.
First year pay is grand, second year sucks. Captain upgrade is coming down and all that jazz.
The dash is the best plane that any one has ever flown anywhere hands down. It really is a fun plane to fly, the captains and I will make fun of the guys stuck in RJs all day long. We've got short legs and fly into pretty sweet airports.

I'm telling you guys...bob trout only hires strippers and hooters girls. get on his good side then you can get your friends in. Had a buddy just applied with 190 hours and 30 multi and got the interview.
Best of luck to everyone in training! I hope to see ya'll out on the line soon!

I'm really enjoying PDT thus far, seems like a good place so far. Now just gotta get through training. The Dash seems like an awesome plane.

We were told that reserve lasts about 3-4 months currently. They also said if you cant get your choice of base right off the bat you can get it within 3-4 months. Dont know about IOE. I guess its not too long I think I remember someone saying, but it depends really on the availability of instructors.

For IOE (we call it SOE cuz we're cooler than everyone else....cough cough) the requirement is at least 100 cycles. Some people take more but most take about that many. You'll average about 3-4 cycles per day per trip. I'll let you guys figure out the math on that one. Either way it's not that long.
