Take it in while you can because who knows where or how nice the new crew room will be once the airport reconstruction is done.



One thing that needs to be understood at Skywest is that what airplane you get as an FO has no bearing on what airplane you upgrade on.
It may help make the upgrade easier in an airplane you've already flown and are comfortable with than it is to upgrade into a different one, but there are plenty of pilots that started on the Brasilia and upgraded into the CRJ or even ERJ. The tougher move was to start as a CRJ FO and attempt upgrade as an E-120 Captain.

Where you are based as an FO also has no bearing on where you upgrade.
Once you get a base in any seat, as long as that base stays open that seat is yours. Displacements are in the Policy manual, but I don't know of any instance where a jr guy has been pushed out of a base due to a sr guy getting forcibly moved because of a base closure.
