Not all out stations are equal. Early start and late finish trips are roughly 60 or more TAFB for a three day or 85 or more for a four day. BOI has few of those relative to others. BOI has more 4 days which makes the 4:1 rig more powerful making long days less attractive to the schedulers.

Did I mess up picking the CRJ?
Just interviewed and would be looking to go to CTP in October. I live in SLC and would be interested in either staying put or commuting/moving to MSP/DTW/ORD. Delta would be the ultimate goal. I had heard prior that the CRJ tended to have faster upgrade times and was more junior. I also would want to keep the door open to becoming a DEC at Endeavor because they seem to have a good offer (2 year flow to Delta and a huge bonus) so the CL-65 type seemed appealing as a backup.
Like everybody else, I had to tell them in the interview and I said CRJ. Reading this forum, it seems like the delays for the CRJ are astronomical while the ERJ is pretty quick. Is the CRJ really that bad? Does the seniority situation still look the same once you are looking to upgrade? Would it be too late to try to switch?

Sit tight and wait. Management is doing everything they can to get more LCAs out there but, many LCAs are leaving right away. On top of that, their focus is more aligned with upgrades than new hires.
