You pay income taxes where you live. In the past the state of California has tried to tax crew based there, but live elsewhere. You had to do 50% or more of their flying in the state. This situation would now be rare as the Brasillia is gone as jet trips leave California more.

I have found that every airline's personnel department makes it sound "so easy" to get to your desired base, but is that reality?
Right now it's pretty easy. I got SFO out of training and it took me 2 months to get Seattle based.

How long has it been taking new hires to get based in LAX? Either on reserve or holding a line.

Depends on the plane. Easy for ERJ. Hard for CRJ.
