As of right now no new hire classes until Sept. But that could all change pending many different things.

This June 30th class will be all upgrade and transition. No new hire.

You did. Seniority is everything, you'll be in the jet at SKW soon enough. For now, enjoy the EMB, most of the EMB pilots I talk to say it's a blast. And when you do transition, you'll have higher seniority than the people that waited for a jet class. Oh, and FAT is awesome!

I think most will say that you made the right move. It would be tough to argue that at this particular moment in time, there is not many regionals as stable as SkyWest. Of course that could all change at any time.
