Reserve in SFO was not that bad on the Bro. I did it for 10 months and I live in Santa Cruz. You get some ready tacked on to the end of an assignment sometimes but it is only like 4 hours at most and does not happen all the time. My 175 lines have been much better than the old Bro lines. 15,16 days off has been the norm. Other than a bad string of standups last month I have been pleased. In fact, so far I have never been happier here at Skywest. We will see what awaits at PDX in July. With that said you can take my open slot

Unless your on reserve. Then you could fly all 3 the same day... I have. No big deal... But "pairings" are 700/900 or 200 specific...

Were you told you get to share a bed with another man too?

That's right, in training it's back to bunking up with some other guy for about 2 months. If you go to ATL it's literally the same room.

Enjoy your "first class" career!

Strong words from our SAPA VP regarding our horrible schedules. This is the stuff I am sure goes on behind the scenes all the time but it is great to get a glimpse of what they try to do for us.

Imagine if DL and UA put as much thought into what flying would make good schedules vs who could do it cheaper. It would be interesting to see what could be done by consolidating the flying for each carrier to specific bases. Good thing I am just a dumb pilot and don't need to make those hard decisions.

Times are really tough when we're forcing new hires to share a bed. So that makes 4 to a room now, huh? Were you top or bottom spoon?
