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.

No regional airline is going to willingly grant you vacation time during your first twelve months of employment unless you accidentally have a break in training. Once you complete IOE they will build you a reserve line and you will be lucky to get more than two or three days off in a row. In a junior base with lots of movement you might hold a line quickly, but you still won’t get vacation within the first year. You will probably only get one week of vacation after 12 months of employment that you might be able to combine with a few days off on either side if you are lucky.

Lol I know
However, I’m not person that takes bunch of vacations and trips. I work every day and can go without day off for a while. This is literally the only event in years that I have to attend. It’s kinda unfortunate that it falls into March. I’m sure other pilots also have important family events and somehow manage to do everything.

If the airline wanted you to have a family they would have assigned you one during indoc. You are a seniority number and nothing more once you get to the line. As others have said,if you “must” go to this event take a class date after you get back. Also,SkyWeezy over Mesa any day

Have to sign up for that during open enrollment. But yeah if she starts in November it may work. Huge gamble though. Probably will not be done with training.

I thought CRJ training was much quicker than E175 training at Mesa? Last spring SkyWest had big delays with people waiting months for CRJ IOE. The actual training should be 6-8;weeks but when sim instructors and IOE check airmen quit you end up with people waiting for sims or waiting for IOE, sometimes for months. 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.

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?

My suggestion would be to never leave mid training. Pass and complete the events and checkride. That will look good on apps and for interviews.
