ERAU, why are you anxious for the jet? Honestly, unless you live in ATL, ORD, MKE, DEN, COS, or TUS (jet only bases), it seems like it would be smarter to go to the brasilia. Since first year pay is the same regardless of equipment, and the monthly line guarantee is higher for the brasilia, it might be smart to go to the EMB-120. Plus you might gain some great experience and progress faster. Plus after that first year, you could either upgrade to EMB CAPT (and get the TPIC and more money) or you can upgrade to CRJ FO. Then upgrade to CRJ CAPT. Just a thought. If you want to live in a jet domicile, then you probably want the jet. Otherwise, you probably would want the EMB. Skywest guys, how does this sound?


A question for the Skywest guys. Say you get hired as CRJ FO, and you want to be domiciled in a brasilia only base (MRY, PDX, SAN, SBP), how soon before you can you change to brasilia FO, or do you need to wait until 1 year. How does downgrading at Skywest work (RJ capt to Bro capt, bro capt to rj fo, rj fo to bro fo)? What is the wait time in between downbids?
