Roger that. That's pretty good. When I was an ATC'er, the contract didn't apply, nor could you be a union member, while still in training in OKC (about 2 to 3 months). The first day you showed up at your domicile (facility), you were fair game to become a union member (open shop). Probation started from hire date, for one year.

SkyWest is similar. Contract provisions don't apply until you've completed training, in effect, day one of IOE. Probation is similar to above, one year from hire date.

Question! Lets suppose skywest does furlough say the bottom 100 pilots on the seniority list(this would include me) would it be bottom 100 or would it be bottom100 rj guys seeing as we are so short on the bro. Just a question, a hypothetical, not looking for "It'll never happen"

Don't lesson to this, SKW will do as they've ALWAYS done and stick to their policies. The last on the list will be the first one out and the most senior furloughee will get the first call to come back.
