Skywest Pilots: San Diego Base
Hey guys
I'm wondering if hired how long it would take to hold the SAN base in the Brasilia, or the LAX base in the jet. And how junior or senior those two bases are.
Maybe some info on the bidding system would be more relavant. Do you guys have system bids every few months? How long after you get your assigned base can you bid to another?
Thanks in advance

Friend of mine got it a few months out of training (FO obviously). CA is very senior.
If you just want enough money to surf and eat, and you could probably get by as a bro FO for however many years until upgrade.
Right now they are doing bids every few weeks to place all the new-hire classes.
There is no domicile lock except for CRJ pilots qualified to fly into aspen (due to the intensive training requirements). You can change domiciles anytime you want.

You will be assigned aircraft based on their needs and your experience
CFI: Most likely EMB
135: Probably jet
121: definitely jet
You get to bid on what is available for your aircraft. Seniority in class is based on last 4 of your SSN....
0XXX = high seniority in class
9XXX = fresno
