As long as we still have the bro (for a while yet) one-year Bro FO's will still flock to the RJ as their seat locks expire. This should keep new-hires flowing to that airplane.
Whether you get the jet or the bro depends on your flying background and the company's needs at that time.
Previous 121 or turbine experience: Expect the jet. You might be able to ask for the bro and get it if they have enough jet people.
No Previous 121 or turbine: Expect the Bro. Very few non-121 new hires get the jet and usually only due to last minute scheduling needs (trying to fill a class). After you get a job offer in the Bro, you could show up in SLC the night before the next jet class, show up on monday morning and tell them you're willing to do the jet class if someone no shows. This has worked before.
