Are you flight instructing now? Or otherwise building time? Where do you live?
I've gotten emails from folks who claim that there are folks in the current SkyWest new hire class who do not have either CRJ time, or 1000 hours. It doesn't hurt to put you application in to SkyWest.
Expect MKE or ORD for your first base in the jet, and FAT (or possibly other California base) for the EMB-120.
With the recently announced 8 new planes for Midwest, I'd almost bet on MKE. Can you withstand that for a while?
By the way, I can't comment confidently on other airlines, but be cognizant that if DAL merges with NWA, I see Compass and Mesaba getting NWA furloughees as flow backs, putting maybe you on the street (if you're there).
