Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm certainly not opposed to SFO or DEN. Either would be a one-leg commute from SBA. I think I'm more partial to LAX because it would be a relatively painless drive to base, if necessary. The more important question I should have asked was how long should I plan to spend in MSP or ORD before getting a west coast base?

Awesome! Thank you very much.

I don't know what's going on in LA, but PSP has added 9 FO spots, and approximately 9 CA spots in the past 2 months. Something's gong on and no one is talking.

I just have zero clue on how the bidding works yet, what the trips are like out of MSP, or even what trips would be possible to bid for. I know there are a good amount of skywest flights in/out of FAR just curious as to the likely hood of maybe seeing the wife an extra night/afternoon or two randomly.

Definitely possible, I think SLC pairings has FAR overnights on the Cr9 this month.
You can bid specifically for FAR overnights in PBS parameters.

Looks like it won't be hard to get FO SFO 175. Maybe one or two months in ORD then able to hold SFO. How are the pairings in SFO on the 175's

Please excuse the redundant question, but this is a forum with opinions and conjecture. Since posting this apparent aggravation I've received an email from the company that helped out tremendously regarding my previous question. I appreciate the respectful responses and the others do not change my opinion of the pilot group at Skywest.
