This delay in hiring and training is reported to be a cause of Deltas resent slip into chapter 11. Myself, I am currently awaiting a class date on the CRJ and am hopeful that it will come soon, but there have been no firm dates set.

For bases, I have been told that Chicago and Denver are the two most junior for the CRJ. As for Embraer I cannot comment.

Good luck in your hunt and I believe that SkyWest is an excellent place to pursue a career, if you’re willing to be patient…
