Even if a current trainee tells you what the current training wait times are, they may change before you get there. The airline expects you to be ready when they are.
If you want a Seattle or Portland base at SkyWest, choose the E175. If you want a Phoenix base at Mesa, choose the CRJ. There is a rumor that Mesa is planning to declare bankruptcy in order to get rid of their American flying and CRJ aircraft, which means their Phoenix base might close.
Woah there Hoss. Br won’t get rid of the Crj as mesa outright owns then all though they are collateral for the govt covid loans and I don’t know how those are impacted in br. There is also no guarantee that a court will abrogate the American contract. Phx might or might not close with or WITHOUT an end to American flying. American can terminate that contract TODAY if they want to. Why haven’t they?
