Transferred.
RJ New hires are going to ORD, SLC, DEN, IAH, MSP, COS and a few to LAX. It seems to rotate.

1.5 years to transfer there as others have said. You should consider the brasilia. The pay is actually more than the RJ the first two years because the pay scale is the same but you'll spend less time getting the 75 hour reserve guarantee. I made more money 2nd year on the brasilia as a lineholder than I would have made on the jet even when the pay scales were different.
By the time your seat lock is up you'll be able to transition to SFO easily. Commuting is not fun.
ORD right out of training should be simple. They just put out the transfer list for April and they have 10 FO openings in ORD. Most of the current new hire class will likely go there.

The bottom of the list sees some movement because a lot of the reserve guys transfer around trying to commute to hold lines in different bases. If you want to sit as the plug on reserve in SLC for 3+ years you can get in there, but don't expect a line for a long time.

It is but new hires have even going there from the last few classes, it would still take a while to hold a line in SLC in the RJ

SLC is kind of an odd base in a sense that it's pretty junior to be able to transfer in there, but pretty senior to actually hold a line. There's hardly any movement on both the FO and captain side. There are a lot of super senior FOs in SLC who have upgrade bids just for captain in SLC and no other base. Since there's no movement on the captain side those FOs aren't going anywhere so everything stagnates.

What's LAX like for a new hire on the Jet.

Busy, LA has been shorthanded for a few months now. The bottom reserves are breaking guarantee pretty much every month. Holding a line is a ways off as all the bro transitions and senior pilots transfer in.
