EWR is a junior base for Xjet but there are no gaurantees. You won't know until you finish class.

So in theory I could get hired at Xjet and be based at LAX?

Are there any regionals that will guarantee a base at time of hire?

Yes, but if you want EWR you'll get it quick (1-3 months), and chances are you'll get it straight out of class. Basically, nobody wants EWR, so you shouldn't have trouble getting it. Eagle will guarantee base/equipment when they hire you. They have LGA. Something to consider. From what I hear, they're a good outfit.

Simple...Southern NH you can have Colgan out of MHT or you can have American Eagle and be guaranteed BOS. From Southern NH both are a 45 minute drive not counting traffic MHT is probably a little closer to 30 minutes depending on where in SNH you are.

Eagle wants 800 hours but I dont they they are firm on that

You would definitly shot at Eagle, they would love somebody with previous jet or turbine experience. I would go to BOS there seems to be more movement there then LGA. Tough to say though. If you want a guarentee then Eagle is the one you want to go with. Good luck

Are you willing to drive? I know a CA that drives to JFK from Keene, NH. Again he's pretty senior. So don't forget Comair for a JFK base. Its junior and you'd easily get it. But from that area, I'd rather pick one in Boston.
