Current Regional Bases

[J.Otto]

Does someone have a list or know of a website that has a current listing of open bases (most likely junior) for the various regionals.

I'm making plans to transition into regional flying (gonna start sending in apps), and would like to avoid commuting by living in a preferred base.

ALLATPS has a list (http://pilotjobs.com/airline-domiciles/) but it doesnt seem current as I know some of these bases have already closed. So all old info.

Also, if you can list your regional (especially if they're hiring this year) and what junior bases are, I would greatly appreciate it.


thanks!

Which base has the lowest average cost of living or are they all about the same?

 

[Master Shake]

Houston is the number 1. No state income tax and sales tax around 7%. I'm really not sure about ATL, IAD or DTW. ORD is quite expensive, but a lot of fun too. CLE is dying and EWR ranks up with ORD for high cost of living.

SBA & SAN closed. Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo are both Brasilia co-domiciles. IAH is all jet. Fresno is both.

Well, I may get banned for posting this, airlinepilotcentral.com has a good breakdown on all domestic airlines. They have domiciles, pay scales, etc.

Show off....

I'd give my left nut and a good chunk of my right one to be based in any of those cities over the cesspools XJT calls bases (ORD excepted).

Not the intention, they aren't hiring so no point.

They have a name for that...

To the OP- it helps if you mention where you live now. Commutes that appear to be simple are heinous, and the other way around- but living in base is a GREAT idea. Good luck.

If you don't like your regional airline base, wait 5 years, it will change.

If hired, at what point does one know what airplane one will be assigned?

A few missing and some outdated
It's:

Portland - EMB/CRJ
Seattle - CRJ
San Fransisco - CRJ/EMB (Reserve)
Santa Maria - EMB
San Luis Obispo - EMB
Fresno (worse than hell) - EMB/CRJ
Los Angeles - EMB/CRJ
Palm Springs - EMB/CRJ
Phoenix - CRJ
Tuscon - CRJ
Salt Lake City - EMB/CRJ
Denver - CRJ
Colorado Springs - CRJ
Denver - CRJ
Minneapolis - CRJ
Houston - CRJ
Chicago - CRJ

Last I knew for the EMB you'll get sent to FresNO first and will be able to bid out in a month or so.

On the crj expect Houston or Minneapolis right off the bat and if you're lucky you can get Denver or SLC.

One thing I can assure you is that if you want PDX, SEA or anything in the pacific time zone (other than FAT or PSP) expect to wait well over a year.
