Thank you!
ORD is junior. Both on the CRJ and ERJ.

Bump for anyone else that can answer his other questions.

I second that. Denver training center when all done will be bigger then SLC's.. No doubt SkW will be around Denver. They wouldn't have built that unless they got a huge commitment fron United...

Not necessarily. There's not much economic benefit for a regional to have it's training center at one of it's pilot bases. A little, but not much. If it's a pilot base, they can save hotel, per diem, and positive space for pilots who are based there. That's about it.

There isn't a better place to interview. I have heard rumours that SLC might get a little more technical questions but I doubt there is much difference. The interview is as easy as you want it to be as long as you put the effort to study the gouge. The gouge literally has every bit of detail they will ask you and they expect you to look at it

You should be fine if you want Denver. Right now, the only bases in limbo are LAX, and PHX. With eagle planes going away, no one knows if they will shrink or grow or stay the same.

I'm thinking that with this new RAH proposal making first year 40/hr, Skywest will do the already approved increase to 36/h in hopes of keeping people coming through the interview door.
