Seriously, do not stay at a regional a day longer than necessary to get yourself hired at a place with better pay and better prospects, and with 10 year CA pay of only $95 an hour, that’s damn near any major. A second year FO at F9 or NK makes $110-112 an hour plus 14% direct contribution to your 401k and you can likely upgrade in 4 years and be pulling $220 An hour +15%.

No, they don’t have bases in the PNW, but commutes to LAS, ORD, and DEN aren’t the end of the world (and have to be easier then Medford). And if ULCC isn’t to your taste, it’ll at least give you another type and recent training event to buff and polish your resume for one of the real legacies. Do NOT make a regional your long term goal.
