Let them be excited and go to Commutair. Won't be too long till they're putting their apps in to Skywest and be back at the bottom of the list when Commutair closes the doors. A serious regional downturn is coming and Skywest has proven that they can weather the storm a lot better than the other small regionals. To those that are researching where to go to start their airline career, a financially stable company is very important and that's one thing that Skywest is good at.

I do think merger of some AA WO’s might happen and maybe Delta dissolve Endeavor into Delta (brining all onboard and parking the 200’s). I think Republic & SkyWest are the Safest as they don’t have all their routes locked up into one Major. But I do agree both of them need to raise wages, to match inflation

Any insight from anyone on where a DEC would get domiciled? Is LAX immediately attainable for an ERJ DEC?

Honestly, no one can tell you that yet. Since to my knowledge, no one has been hired or at least gone through training as a DEC yet. This was just announced a couple of weeks back.
LAX is senior, or i should say most domiciles west of Denver are senior on both airframes. As FO you can most probably get any domicile within 3-6 months. But as a CA i'd assume you would have to spend time in
DTW(CRJ only)/MSP/ORD/DEN for a bit.

You are good to use both as soon as you get the badge, don’t forget to activate your KCM

more like organic growth by some UA regionals and shut down of other ones.. just like XJT and TSA
