Skywest QOL
#2
Somebody will have a better answer than me...I haven't started IOE yet, but from what I have heard from classes ahead of me, if you get the 120, chances are you won't be on reserve at all from FAT. I should defer to somebody that's actually gone through though.

correct. I'm on reserve right now in MKE (just off IOE) and will be bidding for a line next month.

I really want ORD if I get on with SKW, I was just curious how the typical weeks are on reserve, and with holding a line. What is typical? Working weekends with 4 days on, 3 days off?

Yea, I wanted ORD as well but get to commute 1800 miles to California for work on the EMB. Glad I am doing it though and love the flying out here despite have to commute. Be prepared if you don't get the CRJ and ORD if you get hired. I am out in Fresno right now and am already bidding halfway up the seniority list here for August in only two months. I bid for 4 day trips and usually have 3 days off between trips. Once a month I get a big stretch of 5 to 6 days off in a row which is nice too. Weekend trips is what I have been getting which I prefer as well because its easier to commute home during the weekdays. Good Luck!
