Compass would be a good choice or Skywest for the PNW. I'd stay away from ExpressJet as they will eventually shrink even though they have a solid contract.

I think the award just went more senior this month than prior months because of the lack of upgrades for two months. Those senior guys were worried the music might stop forcing them to spend another x no. of years (7?) as an FO so they took the upgrade before missing the boat.
Quite understandable really.

The sudden bump in upgrade is because senior bases are being awarded on the ERJ, they are transitioning from Alaska flying that's going away. CRJ classes stopped to catch up on FO new hires and are now catching up to ERJ with regards to most junior CA hire date.
It will drop below 4 but probably be 6 months or so till then because of how many people were hired in 2011-2012
