Monthly awards are coming out today and tomorrow.
Jr SLC Captain award was hired 15 years ago.... as of tomorrow. He was a transition from CRJ Captain to ERJ Captain.
No CRJ captain awards into SLC..... but they're still going through the awards so to quote Lloyd Christmas "you're saying there's a chance"
Jr FO award is an 8/13/2019 hire.... in other words not even done with ERJ sim yet.
Jr Captain award overall was a 8/6/2019 CRJ New hire. Not even done with SIM and awarded DTW CRJ Captain.
Jr ERJ Captain hired 9/2015 to BOI

Thanks for all the input, gang. So I finally figured it out. The ERJ is the better route for me. Ironically when I emailed my recruiter and told her about the switch my start date is looking like it will be accelerated substantially over the CRJ. Looking forward to getting going!

Just throwing this out there... but I held a blank line [like composite with SkyW] in LAS six months out of new-hire with Southwest. In a couple years my FO rates will be in excess of what I was making as a SkyW captain. Automatic 15% retirement contribution from the company. Schedule flexibility like you wouldn't believe. Lots of guys have made the jump who had 20+ years with SkyW. If you havhaven'te at least considered the move, I'd highly recommend it. That commute out of SLC to OAK or LAS isn't tough.
