DC is definitely going away.

I run the pilotdomicile website, haven't kept up with TSA in a while, can someone tell me where the current bases are so I can keep the list current?

I want to thank you for your time and efforts doing that. With all the new hires coming in I know a lot of pilots will be using it, even though most will never say thanks.

Looking at the XJT UAX January 2019 map, it appears some of the ORD flying will run through IAD. Kind of like we used to do with ATL based -200s in DTW on the DAL side.

I was thinking about C5. They have pilot social upcoming in the dc area from what some friends tell me.

This is incorrect. Xjet has the opportunity to come back with this new TA being voted on right now. We've been "promised" at least 20 E175s for United if the TA passes, plus it appears Skywest is going to sell us to someone (basic assumption is United, in some form). Wait until next month to make your final decision, the TA will probably pass.

Xjet is way better than C5. They're a garbage company; ever C5 pilot I've talked to at EWR has not had good things to say. "It sucks" and "dumpster fire" were two exact descriptors used by 2 C5 guys I know.
The main reason Xjet has this renewed opportunity is because C5, Mesa, and Awac are screwing up so bad.
