How long would it take with the company to be based in SFO or LAX?

CRJ SFO - 6 months
ERJ LAX - 8 months
ERJ SFO - 7 months
3 months of initial training will count towards these times. Expect to commute for 3-5 months. Also, if its an option, look at other CALI bases. ERJ SAN (4 months), CRJ FAT (5 months), etc.

Also, what type of/how is the flying of the CRJ out of SFO?

ERJ LAX...personally I would be budgeting at least a year, minimum, perhaps longer. I suspect as the company is hiring more people this year and the list gets longer for transfer requests into the West coast, that number could even go up.
*this is assuming the present rate of upgrades and guys moving on continues of course*
They still do transfer guys in from what I see on the reports but it is quite seldom and often many many months will go by with no awards for LAX. It appears to be a popular base and the flying has been decreasing of late.
SFO is probably more achievable in a shorter time frame.

SFO has gone very junior on the CRJ side. New hires have gotten SFO. COS has also gone to newhires before finishing IOE.
LAX and DEN require a few more months.
SFO CRJ flying is mostly up and down the west coast, but flows through LAX and DEN a bit.
