IAD Baseing
So I'm currently at ATP and will be done in January. I'm going to instruct through June at the earliest and possibly longer. I'm planning on instructing to 600-800 hours and I'll finish with 200+ multi. I am getting married in June and my fiance is a United Flight Attendant (I was one myself too for awhile). She wants to transfer to DC and we don't want either of us to have to commute.
So what is the best regional for being sure of a DC base?
Thanks!

I've already been threatened with bodily harm by my finance (former Comair FA) and all her pilot friends at Comair plus my instructor if I go to Mesa.
Does anyone know how junior AWAC and Republic's DCA bases are? Course AWAC's junior bases could change with their two new bases opening right about when I'll start applying to airlines.

ExpressJet with our industry leading contract. Sure first year pay still sucks, but we've got one of the most comprehensive contracts in the regional world. What does this mean? Our second year FOs make as much per hour as Colgan Beech Captains. Real time on line trip trading and pay protection. Very good maintenance. Just a few of the things Colgan pilots decided to turn down by staying union free, and things that EVERY company should have.
Not trying to attack or stir you up, just hoping that you realize you should have gotten a union to get an acceptable contract and pay rates for those Q400s.
Beauty is in the eye of the ALPA CONTRACT holder.
