For those who don't know, Key Lime is/was a tough freight expediter which requires PIC minimum times.
Yes I am bitter, and no, it is not your fault, and if you were a saw gunner or a member of a Stryker brigade, thank you.
And the random comment of the day award goes to......

SkyWest's DEN base isn't very senior, I was awarded it as a new hire last year

The DEN base at SKW isn't that senior. If you rank all of the bases in seniority top to bottom DEN would end up somewhere around 50%. It's a big base too so even though it's a bit senior it's possible to get into. COS is the most junior RJ base right now so I know a handfull of junior guys who commute from Denver to COS for a line.

Yes.
After 1.25 years at OO the only RJ base I can hold a line in is COS, I could hold a composite line in MSP

How many lines for the RJ in Denver vs the total number of F/O's? Any chance for a line soon?

I commute from DEN to EWR. It isn't too bad, I have never been bumped from the Jumpseat although I do have to ride up front a decent amount.

Ouch! DEN to EWR, that's not a bad commute? Guess its all relative to how good your attitude is about it.
