Whether or not this fact applies to you specifically, it’s a thing.

If DEN is the goal, go CRJ.
ERJ for Denver is fairly senior and if you get it, you won't fly much.
You can also get COS on the CRJ so that opens up another option.
If you go ERJ, plan on commuting to LGA for 6-8 months minimum. Then another 6 months or so in ORD. Then 6 months back on reserve in Denver.

I am looking at making the jump into 121 and have applied to SkyWest because my family lives in the BOI area. I interview soon and looking for some insight, not just HR's input. I know the 175 is based in BOI, how is the commuting on reserve? How long of reserve should I expect? Lastly, how hard is it to get a line in BOI? I know BOI just became a domicile in September of 17 and looking at the seniority on the website, seems junior for FO. The main reason for making the switch from what I am flying now, federal government, to 121, is to get closer to family which is why SkyWest interests me.
Any insight is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Expect a few months commuting to ORD or LGA. I would expect BOI in under 6 months. However SLC just got some of the BOI flying so it could take longer. Once you are a line holder in BOI your QOL will be off the charts. Getting there will either be easy or really hard, depending on a number of factors.
