From: ERJ 175 Captain
The junior FO in Houston was hired in January 2017. They just awarded four FO slots in IAH last month. Houston has shrunk considersbly, not sure how stable it will remain so it is impossible to predict how long it might take to get in. It is CRJ only at this time.

Looking around at the different regionals, and initially Skywest is the most attractive as I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and all things equal like to stay here. I imagine SFO is realitivly junior but can anyone provide any insight on how long it would take to get based in SFO? Is most of the flying out of sfo CRJ or ERJ and what are the typical trips out of SFO look like? When the time comes down the road is SFO any different on the captain side for seniority?
Sorry if these have been asked before

Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't (i.e. PUB)
People really don't like flying on T-Props, and then you add on poor performance, poor service and a high cancellation rate like GLA had in the midwest and the traveling public will drive or drive to a bigger airport.
Add in OO has all of United's network to connect people in Denver, like Envoy has all of American's network in DFW.
There is a staggering difference in the number of people that drive to GCK to connect through DFW relative to the number of people in Dodge City that simply want to go to Denver.
There were very well populated areas with very poor ridership simply due to GLA. Envoy has boosted ridership in some of these areas to unimaginable levels.

Any truth that Skywest is opening a ATL base?
