The fastest upgrade is the CRJ. If I wanted to upgrade as quickly as possible and this was my first 121/135 job, I'd pick the CRJ and throw out all other factors (except maybe driving to work).
Yes you can upgrade on any airplane, but I would very much rather upgrade on a plane I know.
But I'm pretty forgettable as a pilot.

Can't believe E175 reserve is still a year in ORD.
I sat reserve two weeks on the CRJ.

So youd recommend going to the CRJ?

Leaving a decent 135 job for SkyWest....
I recently spoke with a recruiter from my #1 choice of legacy. They flatly stated... "we aren't hiring 135 guys anymore due to poor training outcomes we have experienced with people coming from 135".
So, I am looking at leaving a pretty good 135 gig to get into 121.
I know there are a ton of variables regarding the following questions, but would love to hear some educated opinions:
1. How painful would a SMF-LAX or SMF-PDX commute be?
2. With 6mos seniority what kind of efficiency could an FO in LAX expect? (hrs credit for a 3 day trip? 4 day trip?)
3. If QOL is #1, you are bottom of the pile, and you live in SMF... which AC and what base are you shooting for?
Gracias amigos!
