To figure out who is upgrading quickly, look for an airline that is adding airframes. The smaller the seniority list the faster you will accumulate relative seniority.
Throw in commutability or bases you would consider moving to for a nebulous amount of time. Health insurance, work rules, flow, equipment, travel benefits, vacation, type of coffee they brew in the training center, type of hotels they typically overnight in, and how many gift cards you get for interviewing. Did I miss anything?

SkyWest has never furloughed, has lots of money in the bank, and the seniority list is moving as fast as any other regional right now. They have more domiciles than most and pay comparable to other top regionals. They've also added contracts with Alaska, United and Delta within the last year.
It's still a regional, not without its own issues, but def one of the better ones. As someone else said, in this business, it's best to choose one where you can live in domicile as commuting, especially to a regional, kinda sucks.
Best of luck in your decision.
