I'm enjoying reserve right now. FAT CRJ FO. Worked 7 days last month. 4 days so far this month. We're short enough that they they won't have any coverage if they TDY me, but my number hasn't come up recently. Works for me. I like getting paid while I'm on the golf course.:D

Were getting nothing but 18-19 hour 4 days in the NW. I was only able to break an 80 hour award because of recurrent... We have lots of reserves.

PDX must be the only place with min staffing of bro fo reserves. SLC only has 4 res lines and Fat only has 3 and fat has something like 68 lines. I was TDY to sfo and fat twice in March leaving SLC below min staffing but that's just the love screw support has for me. I count 18 Bro fos on a VLA so even if they all came back right now I still think we'd be a little short. And I have heard from someone in crew planning that there have been a few who opted not to come back and that had they known then what tthey know now they prolly woulda kept the newhire class going. On the upside Uncle Jerry's new house sure seems to be coming along nicely.

Im a SLC RJ Captain, and bid reserve the last 3 months.. Last week i had one day they didnt call me!! thats the first day in 3 months I didnt work on a reserve day!! (But I do put call first.) (I would rather do reserve then a 16hr four day trips!!)

Not trying to be a smart [edit; guy] but until schedplus is full of red.....we're not understaffed, (not my opinion). We have 100 plus in the pool. United and ASA guys on the street. FAA approval for an abbreviated RJ class for those with recent RJ experience. The training dept. can be ready in a moments notice. We could have 150 newhires on line in 3 months. Don't expect to hear anything until its happening. This place is tight lipped.

"FAA approval for an abbreviated RJ class for those with recent RJ experience. The training dept."

We nver got approved for that.. It was a posibility 3 years ago, but was shelved when things did'nt pan out. I think Sked+ hurts staffing.. Alot of wasted reserve crews when someone drops a BIL overnight. Just my thought....

If you are able to drop what you want, Sked+ is a major boost to QOL.

Yep, in FAT we are overstaffed with Captains. For the last 2 years I've been able to drop whatever I want whenever I want. Example, I hold the a$$ end of a line (bid mid 50's with 58 guaranteed - 70ish targeted) and for the last 2 years I've been able to adjust my schedule to get evey birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving and X-Mas off. All without talking to anyone, it’s been really nice! But it looks like that's about to come to an end.........

SkyWest on AirlineApps.com
 

I was updating my app and noticed SkyWest is now a "participating company" on AirlineApps.com. Not sure how long they have been on there, but hadn't noticed it before (when I applied, it was through their own website).

Anyone know when this happened?

The red arrow thing on sked+ went away with with the reserve tab.
