I would imagine some still out of a job might take it now that the emb hiring has tapered off and den and slc are going to new hires.

You actually place your name on the list for a Jet only or any aircraft if you are interested They then interview those furloughed pilots that have volunteered in seniority order when a class is available. Believe the only rule is that you can not have turned down a job offer. I have not yet volunteered and used that opportunity.

Right now it's about 4.5 years, but there is no obvious sign of significant growth or attrition. For a new hire today it could be 8-10, although a massive major airline hiring spree (if it happens) would tend to alleviate that.

When your number gets pulled is completely out of your control and hinges upon too many variables. My advice is do your research in order to make an educated guess on what company has a solid future and then chose which one fits you. Once on board try to learn as much as you can and be patient, your upgrade will come when it comes.

I've got a couple of questions about being a new hire at Skywest.
Is it possible to get SLC right out of training?
Is per diem paid during training?
What is the approximate time right now to get off reserve and for upgrade?
Thanks
