Looking for some insight from recent hires and people within the airline. What are the junior bases/base one will most likely receive if hired. For the CRJ it seems DEN, COS, and FAT. ERJ seems to be DEN or SLC.
Second question is in regards to SEA, seattle. Seems that is a more senior base. Does anyone have experience with commuting from SEA to one of the above bases? Reason I ask is because I have family near Seattle so would have a place to stay and cheaper rent. Just curious, thanks!

DEN is growing right now. It depends on equipment, CRJ has a much faster movement, and transitioning to the 175 after the CRJ is not as hard as going the other route.
DTW, MSP and ORD have been stagnant lately. I am in ORD and i am hoping for some movement. 5 years in and pretty much the plug CA on the 175 is getting old...

As FO you can probably get SEA fairly soon, it is a 175 base only. As a CA forget about it, i have my bid in and i am few years out.

Also, this may have been asked before, but are the current junior captain dates skewed at all by things like direct entry captains?

All AA flying CRJ700 only out of DFW, probably can hold out of training, Jr. domicile as well for FO and CA. If you want to live in AUS, I’d bid CRJ IAH initially, then continuously evaluate the movement out of both domiciles to pick what works best. You can bid to transfer each month, it should work out fairly well for your situation.

Long answer: Though very rare, in the not-so-distant past, people have come from other carriers and been awarded CRJ upgrade while in newhire training or very shortly thereafter.
