Pilot seniority date is off the date you start as a PILOT ONLY. SKW uses the last 4 of your SSN as the way to assign your class senority. The lower the last 4 the better (0398 is SR to 9803). Some other airlines go by birthday...hope this helps.

Makes sense, but...crap. Oh well, my social is 0XXX, so that'll be good if I get on there. Thanks everyone for the input.

That's the only way you learn, by asking questions. Keep doing what you do, you'll make it there one day

I ramped for XJet for awhile, with the same idea as you, then decided I didn't want to fly for them, but it was the same deal there, and definately a great experience!!

hahah your so wrong (Seniority wise)........................"decided you didnt want to work for xjet", who you kidding:p

SAAB, you obviously didn't have to work the Ramp at the station I did!!

Pilot group was awesome, but it would have required a 6-month commitment at the station I was at, which I was NOT willing to do :-)

Being a ramper is a great idea if you want to work at SKW. I haven't meet a person that went that route who didn't get a pilot job. However, some did screw up the first time and had to reinterview. Has the tower at PVU helped, or are people still trying to kill each other down there?

Now the tower just tries to kill everybody. Instead of people trying to kill each other. :D

The tower just causes more radio congestion and makes people complacent and not vigilant for other traffic. What PVU needs is RADAR and violations for kamikaze college katanas.

That tower's funny...you'd think that they'd hire at least one or two patient controllers if they knew that they were going to be controlling a largely student-filled airspace. Man, those guys aren't the friendliest bunch.

You're right about the radar, though. I can't believe that we're not going to get the radar site at the point of the mountain, especially since it would be helping SLC out so much. Too bad. Thanks, Ms. Blakey...

Its SkyWest. The pilots aren't operating under a pilot contract either.
