I think you'll see a few more people getting the 120 for the summer months. Last summer they had 3 or 4 months in a row with 40 new hires per class for the 120. 80% of guys go over to the "dark side" at there one year point. So they will have some seats to fill on the 120.

Just out of curiosity...could you clarify what you mean by the "dark side"?

The guys that voted for a pay raise, and left me out in the cold.

Whats the difference between a SkyWest FO and a pizza????
It's sad, but I'm earning more in my first year at SkyWest than I would have in my second year at Colgan. My take home is at least $1800 each month after taxes and insurance deductions for the wife and I.

Theres a CRJ class starting on Monday with only 18 in it! If they want classes of 40 qualified pilots they might have to change their compensation package.

A pizza can feed a family


One of the reasons it is such a small class is due to the DEN EMB closure. With all of the transitions, they had to have fewer new hires.
