If that is true it will be long time before there is any chance of hiring off the street for a while.

Sorry for the creep but I have some questions. What are the current SKW domicles? Also heard a rumor about a base upcoming in MSP? Any info would help.

I'm not looking for work immediately, that is why I asked what may be coming down the road.

I've been to Fresno... Nothing I haven't seen before.

I'd be happy to buy you a beer X-Rated if it will make you lighten up a bit

CEFO, trust me I don't need the time....

I'm just amazed that when I jumped to 121 flying 16 years ago you needed 1500 total/500 multi- just to get someone to look at your resume'. Now with so many out of work people are being picky about which airplane they want to fly with a company like Skywest?

My thought has always been to take the job...you can always change the airplane later.

I understand the preferences....it just isn't always the wisest move.

Keep your money....let ME buy the beers!

If you are still furloughed good luck to you, i hope you find a job soon.
