I'm brand-new here, and know very little about 121 ops, so please be nice
Just interviewed at Skywest and was told to expect an offer next week with my choice of airplane. My questions:
If you were a new-hire at Skywest, and you lived in SFO (and had no desire to move), and had the choice of the Bro with the SFO base and the CRJ with an MSP base, what would you take?
I'd really really rather fly the jet, but the idea of commuting to MSP to sit on reserve seems like a terrible idea. So I guess my questions are:
• Do the majors care whether your turbine time is turbojet or turboprop?
• At Skywest right now, how long are the upgrade times on the Bro vs. the CRJ?
• Similarly, how long are guys sitting reserve on the Bro before getting a line, vs. sitting reserve on the CRJ?
And finally, I have some family circumstances that will probably prevent me from starting training until September or so. Is that generally a problem, or not a big deal?
Thanks... from a noob
