Welcome aboard.

Just met a guy in ATL that is a CRJ Captain with Pinnacle... he should be in your class.

My CRJ experience with a Feb 12, 2007 hire date is:

SLC: April 1, 2007, last sim ride.

SBA: IOE, April 8 to May 1.

MKE: May (picked up trips in SBA... some reserve in MKE and ORD) to June (got five 4-day trips!) only -200's

FAT: July four 4-days trips (no -700 or -900 flying)

SLC: Aug (bumped up from Sep) four 4-days trips, barely escaped reserve!!! Much longer leg trips with the bigger airplanes, meaning only 2 - 3 legs per day (sore *ss).

As of today, I have 6 months and 4 days at SkyWest.

The company is slowing growth, and there will be no new airplanes for the rest of 2007. But, folks keep leaving. Last month alone, 37 went to Southwest, so upgrades are still relatively fast.

YMMV
