I’ve been told that SkyWest is currently allowing new pilots to choose between ERJ and CRJ is that correct? (Don’t mind waiting for ERJ if class dates are a little further out). Anyone have any insight on if going into fall there will be more CRJ or ERJ classes/ if new hires get a choice? I know there are other west coast options too so just trying to look ahead at what to expect going into fall.
Junior people at Skywest are tending to go east a whole lot more than they go west lately, regardless of which jet they fly. And they sit reserve a lot - especially junior people in the ERJ. And their new reserve rules seriously suck.
Do some reading on the Skywest threads for the last six months before you commit yourself to anything. Know what you are getting in to.
