Go to where you would be okay being stuck for a while, or possibly being out of a job in a while. Or where the best QOL is at as of present moment. Too many factors can and will change. He may not plan on being there for long, but who knows what could happen and he could get stuck or actually enjoy it and want to stay.

If he takes the brasilia at skywest he would get LAX right away in training. Worst case scenario on the brasilia would be commuting to FAT or PSP for a couple months before getting LAX which wouldn't be too bad from LA.

I read the part that said you're giving advice. But the joke is that when people ask questions for a friend, they're often asking for themselves. Like when you start talking to the psychologist at a party: "So I've got this friend who..."
I disagree. Looks like the most junior FO in LAX has been here just a touch over 5 months now, and some newer folks still have standing bids to transfer in. It also doesn't look like many of the EMB FOs have bids in to transition or transfer out.
Here's a fun fact: would you believe that the most junior LAX EMB FO is senior to the most junior LAX CRJ FO? In other words, if you want LAX, you might be better off on the CRJ right now. I know that's a huge gamble, but it is true as of today. Things change, though.

Another note -
I was on a trip, and over drinks my FO told me he'd thought about going to Skywest to be closer to his family (on the West coast). I said "I'd pull the trigger and go - be close to your family - and ease or eliminate your commute!"
He stuck it out for a few more months and then made the jump as furlough notices were coming through for his current company. After putting in a few years with SKW he's now flying the A320 for Virgin.
Personally, i'd keep our eyes on the prize and find the best way to get their that works for you and your family.
