Skywest info
From what I heard, ORD is the Jr base . SLC or DEN is a good possibility (easy commute to and from LAX). PSP is kinda hard to get (even if you get it, it's a 8 year upgrade).
About your interview:
-get some ATC 810 or Frasca 142 sim time and start shooting Vor and ILS aprs. also figure out what kind of entry on holds
-Study the ATP written and Mechanical aptitude test.
-Know your jepps by heart.
-be yourself on hr interview
I hope this helps. Happy New Year .

PSP isn't unheard of for newhires in the brasildo....in fact, there are quite a few brand new people that got based there.....in the jet, expect ORD or DEN....as far as the upgrade, right now it's pretty good.....lower than 2 years. who knows what it'll be next week though..........if you live in LA, it's pretty easy to commute to PSP....there is also a reserve only base in LA that goes pretty junior for EMB fo's.......if you're in the jet, you have no chance. Most of the SAN/PSP/LAX based people actually live in LA, so you shouldn't have any problems getting to work....LAX has a whole bunch of flights to den, slc and ord if you get based there too..

on the jet currently most junior F/O base is SLC, closely followed by ORD, COS, DEN, and FAT and probably in that order. Almost anything other than FAT in CA is pretty senior, but given the movement at the company it doesn't take long to become senior as a F/O.
