You'll probably have a 7 year upgrade. SkyWest is extremely top heavy with senior pilots. Anyone looking to join a regional airline will be much better off going to Endeavor, Compass or even Mesa. Plus the training & AQP is difficult now with a new guy at the helm of CRJ training.

Unless the music stops there won't be a 7 year upgrade much longer. There's 2.5 years of no hiring and the FO that was the plug is eligible for upgrade on crj next bid. I've been here almost 4 years and I'm about 250 from upgrade on crj and moving up about 20-30 a month.

I would NEVER recommend anyone to go to Endeavor. Remember 9E is going to 81 airframes. If upgrading is your priority, it ain't happening at 9E. Mesa, medical insurance will eat nearly 50-65% of your pay. I agree, Compass would be a good choice.
