That is correct. I do not have any previous 121 experience so I'd need the 1000 before upgrade. To be honest I'm not sure I'd be comfortable upgrading that fast anyway..

My long term goal is to get to the majors.

I recognize you from the Skywest-thread. Do you see things getting even worse from here? Do you think staffing problem will add to this?

Pick the place that offers the best QOL today (it may change in the future, but without a crystal ball, you have to go with what you see today). My advice is Sky West, but you need to decide.
Thank you, I truly appreciate your advice.
