How soon could I potentially hold LAX?
Is LAX a CRJ only base?
Are there still a bunch of SkyWest flights between SBA and LAX, or did that go away with the Bro?
How is seniority determined for a new hire class? By age?
Lastly, and just purely out of curiosity, when did they drop SBA as a crew base? (I used to throw bags for SkyWest at SBA, circa 2005-2007)
I sincerely appreciate any insight/advice. I apologize in advance if any of my questions have already been answered in this thread. I did make a point of reading the last dozen or so pages to ensure I wasn't asking a question that had already been answered. Thanks again.
Keep in mind SKW has CRJ bases in Denver, LA and SFO, generally LAX is more senior than the other two. You will have priority on SKW equipment over mainline for the jumpseat, and SkyWest operates nonstops to all three.
Almost forgot about PHX, and Seattle will likely be growing, so lots of choices for commuting out of Santa Barbara.
