I'd like to get some opinions from pilots on how you rate domicile location into the whole equation of an airline career.
When you look at things like type of flying (domestic or international) and type of equipment (widebody or narrowbody); are these areas more important than domicile location?
Many pilots put down Southwest for example, because all they have are B737s and only fly domestic. But there is no question that they have a much better domicile selection than airline's like Northwest (Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis) or FedEx (just Memphis).
To me it seems like domicile location is so much more important than equipment or type of flying. Now I say that to a point... would I want to be stuck at a regional airline in a great location, or commute to fly for a major airline.... I would choose the latter.
Opinions from other pilots on this board would be appreciated.
