SKW Upgrade Classes, back to back awards?
SKW pilots...................
Anyone else interested in why SKW awarded the February 25th upgrade class and once it was complete, without any hesitation, starting awarding the March 17th? Is it due to the increase in Midwest flying schedule to start in March and now they’re scrambling to fill CA & FO positions? Seeing their current CA & FO reserves will just cover the addition flying leaving SKW thin on reserves company wide.
Insight anyone…………………and please don’t turn this into a SKW bash fest. I as well as most am tired of the same run around.
Thank you all!

This is assuming that most will accept MKE for their upgrade. I’d expect the upgrades to go even more junior than what I listed due to the fact that most what to stay out west.

I found the back-to-back bid curious as well. But, the Feb class sure didn't have many upgrades in it if they're "scrambling."
P.S. Does anyone know why it takes so long to award that stuff? It seems to take longer than a PBS run. Seems like it should be a quick Dbase query to me.

How many pilots are needed to staff the Midwest additional flying? Did you base that on how many Skyway pilots were released? What's your best guess on reserves company wide right now? I don't have a clue.

ps. These are very rough numbers.

Before they can award CA's positions they must award FO, CA and FA transfers. After that the system looks at the openings and awards the vacancies.
