I can only speak for Comair. Comair flies CRJ-200, CRJ-700/900. Back when I got hired at Comair, every new-hire was going to JFK as DL was expanding their operation there. JFK is a CRJ-200 base, so everyone was going to JFK/CRJ-200. You can bid whatever you want, though. I bid CRJ2/CVG as soon as I could. I ended up being JFK based for only a month before transferring. CVG is a CRJ2/7/9 base.
Comair is the regional airline that i am hoping to be hired by. However that is a few years away untill i get to that point so alot can change.
