Upgrade times can change overnight. Skywest had 8-12 month upgrades in 2006. The people hired in late 2007 and early 2008 who came there expecting a 1 year upgrade are still waiting to upgrade today.
It's probably better to pick a regional that you wouldn't mind being at if something like that happened again. I would hate to get stuck commuting across the country as an RJ FO for 7 years because I went to a company expecting a 1 year upgrade that didn't happen.
