I'm trying to figure out which of the three, LAX, SAN, PSP has the best quality of life. I'll be moving to the domicile and don't care which aircraft I fly.

If I want ORD, that seems to be a good place to go to get seniority as a FO and hold bids there? Am I reading that correct?

So looks like currently could get DFW a month or two out of training.
Then upgrade potentially at 12-14months, hold dtw/ord for around a year then back to DFW.
So hypothetical in 24 months, 3m training, 1-2m ord, 6-7m DFW, then 12m ord again.
Reading the OP info, sound about right?

currently my first choice is Envoy for DFW but with new PSA rates I am having second thoughts and Skywest is the other option for DFW. I am curious what kind of routes/trips does skywest fly out of DFW and is it a mix of 200,700,900 or only the 700? Is there a good chance DFW will stay around?
