Yeah, sleep through the interview, because who knows, after 5 or 6 years at Skywest you could be upgrading in a shiny CRJ.
You must not realize that some of those places you mentioned and others (Jetblue, Spirit, Airways, Virgin, etc.) have recently hired RJ FO's with 0 turbine PIC time. No upgrade is required!
