Anyone use the SIDA parking lot on the south side of the field off of Eureka? Wondering about the convenience of it compared to the public pay-to-park lots on the north side; parking spot availability, timeliness of the shuttles - where do they drop you off/pick you up.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. |

I had a few other questions regarding DTW base other than what was posted.
- It seems like DTW is pretty junior at Skywest. Could you expect DTW out of training? Would you have to sit on reserve at all? - Would DTW flying be mostly CRJ200 flying or does it vary? Does it even matter whether your trips mainly consist of 200, 700, or 900 flying, minus the few dollars per hour between the different aircraft? - Is the Skywest DTW flying enjoyable for the most part for regional type flying or could you expect better trips with a different base? DTW is primarily 200 flying but now has dual class (700/900) flying there as well. Those trips go senior and the 700/900 locals and standups go very junior because everyone is a commuter there. Year 1 pay scale doesn't have any distinction between 2/7/9 so it doesn't matter. Not flying the 200 means better routes, better pay and just better flying in general. DTW flying is okay. I personally hated it there. It is comparable to MSP flying yet I would take a bad 4 day in MSP over a good 4 day in DTW. The crews are great in all the junior bases, small town overnights can be pretty fun believe it or not, and make sure to arm your reversers when landing in PLN. Let me know if you have any other questions. |
