I dont think any new hires are getting the 175 with a west coast base at Skywest without long reserve times. You could also go to a more "stable" regional wait those 7 months just for a class date, then sit reserve for awhile not growing as much flight time. Both SkyWest and say YX and 9E are definitely safer choices, with more stability, and an excellent option if you have a family, are older, no degree, other obligations, etc.
Any regional will be the best, or the worst depending on who you ask, just look at the varying opinions people have in every regional forum on APC. Find your lane, and your regional based on what works best for you. The rest is just noise.
Mid 20s, no wife, no kids, 4 year non-aviation degree, no crippling flight debt, etc, the risk / reward of coming here. Far outweighs the potential negatives that may happen. If CPZ is gone in 2020, 700+ 121 hours with the type will afford plenty of other options.
