Default skywst pool

Any idea how many are in the pool ? Have rj classes stopped all together or just slowed down? I'm getting close to putting in the resume and just wondering how it will all pan out . I'm not opposed to the emb120 either.
Thanks for the info.

I would go to Comair. They are hiring 300 pilots this year. Fly a jet and have a choice of base, either JFK or CVG. Good Luck

I actually live in South Dakota and Denver and Salt Lake would be an easy commute. Comair is an option and I have a good friend that's been a capt forever that would walk my resume in. Really looking for that QOL, since I'll be commuting.

As of a couple of weeks ago there were about 100 or so in the pool. I flew with a guy on the hiring board and he said that they are planning on picking hiring back up in May. I don't know whats coming down the pipe but evidently they think we're going to need more pilots because attrition has slowed to a crawl. Good luck. BTW, I had your comair buddy in my jump on the way to RAP a few weeks ago. Nice guy. Best of luck.

Hey WAVIT what do you know about this? I'm sure he would know when they are going to start RJ classes again before many....

I didn't say classes, I said hiring, although if they are increasing hiring you would think that would follow.

From what I have heard, it sounds like there might be an RJ new hire class in late June or early July, but probably a small one. Things could always pick up if we get a new partner airline, but baring that it might be a while for those of you in the deep end of the pool...

There are a ton of EMB pilots with bids in for a jet transition. Wouldn't the company put those guys in the jet classes and put new-hires in the bro?
