Trip type or mix for the Denver domicile
How easy is it to change your schedule around (dropping/trading)
Vacation accrual/gold days
As far as SkyWest goes you can be based in COS and pick up trips in DEN or any other domicile as well. Possibly give away trips you don't want. PBS can allow for a lot of flexibility in building your schedule with some seniority. And if you get based in DEN I understand you will wind up doing Aspen flying in the 700.
Okay cool, that looks like a pretty good list. Certainly a lot of things I don't know right now. Could I ask what the answers are for SKW on those things?
I believe that SKW uses PBS and TSA is in a PBS "trial period" right now.
Would you say dropping/trading would be very difficult at SKW because skeds won't authorize anything unless they come up with the idea themselves?
Daily guarantee is 4:12 for SKW and 4.25 (which I assume means 4:15) for TSA.
Trip rig at SKW is 1:4.
The rest I haven't found any information about.
Thanks again!
