Get over it, go to the bro, I commute to fat from mco and on the bro for 3 years. The way things are going you will hold a line out of training vs being on "perma reserve" in the crj. Plus if the hiring continues you could go to the crj in a year after the seat lock. There are rumors of hiring to the jet soon but as you wait you are losing seniority. Pay is the same on the bro vs crj first year, and knew of guys that didn't want to go to the bro back in 08 when I got hired that they never got a class, since all they wanted was the rj.

Commute isn't bad, it's LONG, but it works. Some trips as of late start and/or end with a deadhead so I can commute into SFO or lax for the trip. Again for fat you can commute into from EVERY base west of Dallas to FAT, plus SFO(FedEx) and ONT (UPS). Lax is my commute to FAT city of choice if a trip starts in FAT due to the last 2 flights on UAX are crjs plus you also have eagle.

Most JR CA just awarded has a hire date or 9/06 but the upgrades are increasingly going more JR at a rate much higher than the RJ.
I’d say 80% of the pairings system wide (except SBP) are 4 days trips with a relatively equal spread of start and finish times; the rest are 3, 2 and 1 day trips. 4 day trip credits vary between 15-28 hrs, with less than a hand full below 17 and the overwhelming majority around 20.
