I'd put every effort into Envoy and drive to work and risk the future SKYW inferiority complex that apparently afflicts many.
But if you do end up here the commute is doable with United and Spirit also offering flights and SWA a train ride away.
Den might be a better commute choice eventually.

Anyone know what the current wait for CRJ IOE is? Is it still more than a month after differences training?

I was 3 weeks (as well as a few others in my class) and the rest got about 4-5 weeks. Mostly everyone was getting just a few days heads up...3-4 days notice before. I imagine with our new check airman the wait time should continue to drop.
I was a 01/02/17 class date. Got differences 2 days after my LOE checkride (again the normal wait for that was 2 days to 1 week)

Recently hired on for the ERJ and had a quick question for some of the newer FO's. Wanted to know what kind of wait times you were seeing for getting back to bases on the west coast. Specifically SEA, SFO, or PDX.

In SLC, the valley is going to be cheaper than downtown or areas in the east foothills. West side of the valley is going to be cheaper. Southwest valley area is family oriented, but not much to do out there. Sugarhouse area has things to do, and is near mountains/skiing, but is pricier than some other areas...I'd probably look there or Holladay for starters unless you're a member of the dominant local religion.
You can go north or south as far as Ogden or Provo, but not much to do there and rush hour traffic to the airport would get annoying.
SLC is in the middle of a high desert...if you go far enough in any direction, it will get very, very inexpensive but again not much to do.

TUS isn't that big but there are some parts where you definitely don't want to live. I recommend living north of River Rd (but the drive can start to become prettt long if you live really far north). Also, Tanque Verde is nice, and Rita Ranch is a relatively safe and suburbia feeling area that is close to the airport.

As a new hire you might be able to get SFO right out of the gate, not sure the wait time for SEA, or PDX.

Not familiar with TUS, but if you get farther away from downtown, it will get cheaper.

We have lots of DFW layovers. I believe the ERJ does a lot, and the CRJ-900 does a few, but that can go senior. I finally got a DFW layover after upgrading almost 2 years ago on the CRJ. ORD-DFW is somewhat popular with commuter but is doable. AA has flights every hour including a couple widebodies. UA and Spirit also do it so there are tons of flights.
