Default Leaving a decent 135 job for SkyWest....

I recently spoke with a recruiter from my #1 choice of legacy. They flatly stated... "we aren't hiring 135 guys anymore due to poor training outcomes we have experienced with people coming from 135".
So, I am looking at leaving a pretty good 135 gig to get into 121.
I know there are a ton of variables regarding the following questions, but would love to hear some educated opinions:
1. How painful would a SMF-LAX or SMF-PDX commute be?
2. With 6mos seniority what kind of efficiency could an FO in LAX expect? (hrs credit for a 3 day trip? 4 day trip?)
3. If QOL is #1, you are bottom of the pile, and you live in SMF... which AC and what base are you shooting for?
Gracias amigos!
