How does downgrading at Skywest work (RJ capt to Bro capt, bro capt to rj fo, rj fo to bro fo)? What is the wait time in between downbids?
DOWNGRADE to the Brasilia? Every new-hire should get the PRIVILEGE to fly this fine turboprop.

I figured you would be someone from PVU but I think I know about 150 SKW FOs, most of which are my former students. Thats what I get for going to AK. so how am I to guess who this is? have I seen you recently? How many post do I need to be able to pm?

You have seen me very recently. Maybe at the training Center? I was never a student of yours but I was a student of an instructor that had a desk next to yours at PVU.

I geuss it's all about what you want. Ok I gotta get back to studying now.
Forever's right seeing we don't have a PDX RJ base.

I'm at 1300TT and 90ME. I'm trying to eek out the last 10ME but the weather in CA is killing us. It's slow going. I want to come to the table with the published minimums, but I want the Bro (base preference) and if they really need people do you think I should apply?

YES! And keep them updated with your times once you get the 100 hours of multi. If your in SoCal.....there will be sun next week so fly before the next wave of rain drenches us! We need you in the BRO so I can move over to the CRJ.

To clarify my question: Do you think I should apply with 90ME prior to reaching mins, or wait until I have the 100ME to post my application? It could easily take me two to three more weeks to get those 10 hours (rain and low freezing levels dominate the 10 day outlook )and I'd like to make a March class if possible.
