The source also said that we haven't hammered out the details on the iPad distribution (discount to buy our own, company issued, or installed). I honestly believe they are coming within my SkyWest lifetime.

Does anyone know current mins? The website says 1200tt/100ME and airlineapps says 1300tt/50ME.

Also are there classes scheduled through this spring?

Thanks in advance!

For example; it's now October 10th, and guess how many reserves are available on a non-holiday week day for tomorrow!? 4. Yes there are only 4 reserves available today to cover sick calls, mis-connects, and ready reserve! With over 300 ATL F.O.'s, there are 4 of us who are expected to cover the schedule! It has been this way for over 6 months.
Each month, once the lines are published, there are dozens of trips left in open time that consume most of the available reserves. We are in no way properly staffed!
just fyi - everyone can see the reserve list. One huge factor the reserve list doesn't account for is assignments that leave room for extension.
