For what it's worth, I'd say with XJT slowing/stopping hiring and Eagle putting out the latest captain bid with no backfilling of Saab and doing away with the Saab seatlocks (i.e. the Saab is probably going away soon) then I would say Skywest is your best choice.
LAX for Eagle is Saab and Embraer only. The Embraer takes at least 2 years to hold bottom FO on the list and they don't hire into the jet in LAX, only the Saab. So with this latest Eagle development, it seems the Saabs are on their way out and so too much chance for a newhire to get assigned LAX.
Skywest has the most West Coast bases, and a lot of the pilots I know who live out there have left their first carrier to avoid the commute. Just cut out that first year at another carrier and start at Skywest and you'll be much better off.
Best of luck to you in you endeavors.
