Title says it all. When accepted do you get any choices or how does it really work?
Dakota,
When a pilot gets hired, they can bid on all of the airline’s bases and will be awarded a base from what is available. Many pilots chose to move to base, but many others chose to commute and continue to live where they please.
I do not recommend commuting as it can be stressful and always happens on a pilot’s days off work. I find that those who live in base have much higher job satisfaction.

Literally just had this same convo yesterday: Pilot living location
