How long are typical trips on BRO ? 2,3, or 4 days?

Varies by base. SFO is about 90% four day trips. Just a few 3 days and hardly any 2 days or locals. I think LAX is similar. Fresno used to have a lot of locals and 2 day trips when I was there.
LAX, PSP and PDX tend to have shorter legs so you get more legs per day and generally lower credit. SFO and SLC have longer legs. FAT is a mixed bag.

It's nice to see an order out of Skywest for the E175s- Anyone out there looking for 121 work with "SJS" stopping their app for Republic and shifting it to Skywest?

The SJS guys will keep going to Republic and we're ok with that.

Currently flying a PC12 for a scheduled 135 in the MidSouth. I'm originally from SoCal but would move to PHX (cost thing) if hired at Skywest. How would a commute to PSP or FAT be for someone on the Brasilia? The Bro would be my first choice and aside from the whole West part, it's one of the reasons I've wanted to go to Skywest. Traditionally, when there's been hiring going on, how long have guys had to wait to get LAX on the Brasilia? How long to a line (anywhere), again, traditionally. I'm sure it'll all be different going forward.

Holding a line out west varies. You'd definitely hold a line a lot faster on the bro. Especially with Bro transitions bidding for CRJ and soon ERJ slots.
Leaving Sasquatch eh?

Yup! That's the plan at least. Still have a few months left on contract.

FAT is usually junior but PSP, LAX, and SFO are not far behind.
LAX and SFO should have multiple commuting options from PHX. You can go direct PHX-PSP on USAir, or even drive if you get in a bind.
I'm not sure if there are any direct flights PHX-FAT. Look at USAir and United. I would avoid any commute greater than one leg.
