Just leave yourself multiple backups and you can make it work.

As for 737 flying coming back into StL, I would not hold my breath. With the aforementioned regionals headquartered in St. Louis, I am sure they will fight tooth and nail to hold onto the flying they have. Anything is possible though. Heck, 15 years ago ALL StL UAL flying was mainline.

Good luck and welcome aboard!
I really enjoyed the STL layovers while I was on the 737. It was a good trip out of EWR. SFO-STL where you got in around 7pm. Plenty of time for dinner and drinks, then back to SFO the next evening. That was maybe 3 years ago. The RJ crowd did give a few sideways glances when they saw the guppy pull in.
