Question about orientation...
I'm going on the 27th. Trying to look at flights to jumpseat home afterwards. Can someone tell me what time I should plan on being back at the airport? Taxi over there? Thanks....

Typically it finishes around 2:30-3:00. Twenty minutes back to the airport. Welcome!

I'd say a 3:15 flight is the earliest you can make.
Also, regarding pilot numbers: 570 is what's on the latest company emails, and that number was confirmed by the system chief pirate.

SiShane, here's why I think you should still interview...
Steer Clear of SkyWest, Inc. - DailyFinance
Interesting article found on the Pipe
"Last year, ExpressJet lost $49 million on revenue of $1.47 billion. That represented a setback after the company had managed to narrow ExpressJet's loss to $18 million in 2012."
Sounds more like SkyWest can't afford to KEEP ExpressJet around.
Look, Compass will flow almost 60% of the current pilots. They will lose more to other types of attrition. They have NO 50-seat A/C exposure. So there is unparalled movement and 70-seat A/C security.
Most of all, the pilot group seems happy and positive, much like XJT was when I started there in '06.
Just interview my man...

Yes. I started at XJT in '06. Bad timing and things went downhill quickly with the departure of JR and the setup for sale. Took a quick assessment of the situation at the end of '10 beginning of ''11 and I still had about 700 between me and upgrade with no upgrades on the horizon. Figured it would be about 3-4 more years right seat. I bailed then for a government job to bide my time till things improved in the industry. And I was correct about the upgrade time. I was a G8*** and I think my new-hire class is still waiting or just did upgrade. But to what?
XJT is just a different place than it was in '06.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for my XJT brothers and sisters but the situation there is abysmal. That united CPA is disgusting. XJT is costing SkyWest millions. The 50 seaters are at risk, everywhere.
I passed through IAH a couple weeks ago and it's like thee is a dark cloud hanging over the place, because there is.
CPZ has a bright future. Crews are happy, lots of movement, Delta loves them (consistently #2 for on-time performance, and that'll improve with flying out West), and with such a small pilot group it takes very little to see light at the end of the right-seat tunnel.
Consider this, XJT has almost ten times the pilots of CPZ. So for the same relative movement just due to flows alone, XJT would need to see an almost 200 a month pilot attrition. Or conversely, hold upgrade classes of 100-200 a month. Never going to happen.
