SkyWest PBS
Ok guys, here's my question:
How easy is it to obtain time off in a row at SKW ? (without using vacation time)
By "obtaining" I mean using any method (bidding for it, dropping it, ect) except for calling in sick!
For all you guys currently at SKW, would YOU be able to obtain say, 12/13 days off in a row in a non-peak month if you wanted to? If not, what is the approx. # of max days off in a row you could obtain?
How big of a role does seniority play in your ability to obtain it?
Is it possible to obtain time off in a row at the end of a bidding period, and then some more days off at the beginning of the following bidding period to get all the days off in a row? (For example, last 8 days in Jan and first 8 in Feb for 16 consecutive days off)
Thanks for your feedback!

PBS gave me 6 days off in a row mid Feb. I'm almost the last line holder in SLC. However, I fly for SkyWest Express, not mainline SkyWest. To answer your question yes you can. However, you need to understand how it works and bid for your seniority.

You might spend a month on reserve at ORD, but then again you might not have to do any... I only had to do a month of reserve and that was just because I wasn't eligible to bid for a schedule in time (hadn't finished IOE).

Bidding closes at 0900 on the 17th of each month. If you are done with IOE or almost done with IOE prior to the 17th, the computer should let you bid...get in and attempt to bid while on IOE, you might save yourslef a month of reserve.
