Skywest classes - any guesses?
Well, like many others, I've been in the hiring pool for one year now. I know things change daily and that it's hard to predict the future, but does anyone have a guestimate as to when classes might resume? I'm hoping no later than next spring, but I guess it all depends on how much flying Delta and United require this fall and next spring. Well, I guess the good news is that no furloughs have been announced.

Management has pretty much said no furloughs. They don't make statements like that lightly, so I'm guessing no furloughs in the current environment.
Hiring? My guess would be 18 months or so, maybe less, assuming that there is no large gain in flying (ie mag liquidation).

I'm not defending management here, just stating what they are likely to do. I voted for the union, as painful as that was to do.
If they thought they were going to furlough, they would probably still be approving VLAs.
