Nothing new, still the same thing as before. Look to see cjo holders get class dates throughout summer and hiring to pick back up towards the end of summer

If SkyWest was as bad as people like to trash on here. (No union, crap everything) They wouldn’t have 500+ aircraft and 4600 pilots.. they would be a small under 1000 pilot group...

Well you have to admit, it is very one sided. Look at all the the things Skywest has either duplicated or taken advantage of because of union dues paying people. Now pay is considerably lower at Skywest and thus hurting negotiating power at other regionals.

Anyway, you're not going to be convinced of the benefits of a union, whatever koolaid they serve in SLC it's strong stuff...

I’ve been alpa (5 years worth) honestly 3 years ago I would still have said. “No thanks”... but now, I would say its about time.(not because i feel my job threatened or that they will take away my vacation pay, just because were to big now) But it will be painful. You know it will probably take 5’ish years to get a contract at OO. Management would drag there feet. In the meantime. We would slip further behind except for our bonus checks. Because the compuwould rack in the benefit of not having to do anything for years...

How true is this? I was told CJOs wouldn't start getting called until late summer/fall at the earliest because the summer is full of captain only classes?

No, they were simply going from 2 down to 1 new hire class a month to put more focus on upgrades, but that 1 new hire class is for those already interviewed and in the pool, they aren't interviewing this summer as there are more than enough already in the pool unless they start jumping elsewhere rather than waiting on us.

I apologize if this has been covered, but what’s the projections on how long new hires will be sitting on reserve with all of the classes backed up?

Also, what are the hard reserve rules for a commuter? For example if I had two flights out of my home airport and couldn’t make it on either would that get me in trouble?
